Twitch Teaches Everything: How Live Streaming Video is Changing How We Learn

Cooking, painting, dancing, and even blacksmithing. Today, people are streaming live video of themselves doing all these things over the internet — and others are tuning in to watch. Not everyone is watching simply for entertainment, either. Many people are coming to learn from the experts who are streaming online. These people are creating new learning communities that will change how many learn and teach. Come and learn about the properties that make these new communities so exciting.

Indiana City Brewing Co. is conveniently located in downtown Indianapolis. They pride themselves in the vibrant culture of Indianapolis, so much that their name is the literal definition of “Indianapolis.” We love partnering with Indiana City Brewing Co.! We will explore topics with top-notch local scientists while drinking Indiana City’s tasty beer that will leave you wanting more! Feel free to bring in food if you’re hungry, or you’re more than welcome to order from ClusterTruck during the event. Doors open at 6:30 at 24 Shelby Street; event starts at 7.
