Mark your calendars — THATCamp is coming to the North Country in 2016! And we’re shaking things up a bit so everyone, from digital experts to interested novices, has a chance to participate.

Please register early! We have a limited number of seats available!

Day 1: March 10
Hosted by St. Lawrence University

On the morning of our first day, participants will be introduced to existing digital projects in the North Country and how they were made. We hope that you will find inspiration in these projects to explore your own ideas! In the afternoon, we will gather together to discuss the projects and how we can build on those ideas in the workshops.

A keynote by Professor Shawn Graham of Carleton University will take place at 4:45pm.

Day 2: March 11
Hosted by the State University of New York, Canton

The schedule for Day 2 will be decided through our discussions on Day 1. We hope that these participant-led workshops will explore creative ways to generate and share the stories we find (and the stories that find us) in the North Country.

Register to begin participating today. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our disorganizing committee at thatcampnorthcountry@gmail.com, or follow us on Twitter @thatcampnoco.
