Introducing Confabulate
November 24, 2009
Students and faculty gathered this past weekend for “Confabulate,” a student lecture series. Founded by Derek Chan, the event aims to complement the curriculum with a monthly set of informal presentations delivered by MFA Interaction Design students. These short 10-minute lectures are meant to teach other students (and faculty) about a particular topic, revealing more about the presenter’s interests or skills outside of the program.
MFA Interaction Design student and founder of “Confabulate” Derek Chan kicks off the event on a Sunday afternoon.
This month saw Katie Koch presenting “Lost in Translation: Letterpress and Modern Typographic Arts,” John Finley showing us how “Document-final-BACKUP-LAST VERSION.doc” can be avoided in “Version Control for Non-Programmers,” and Stephanie Aaron on “How to print out and put together a staple-bound booklet without cutting your fingers off, ruining your piece or, damaging your lungs.”

Thanks to Derek for organizing and everyone for coming out. We’re looking forward to watching the tradition grow.
