Libre Learn Lab Details
Libre Learn Lab is a two-day summit at MIT in Boston, Massachusetts on October 8th and 9th 2016 for people who create and implement freely licensed resources for education, bringing together educators, policy experts, software developers, hardware hackers, and activists to share best practices and address the challenges of widespread adoption of these resources in education.Before Libre Learn Lab was its predecessor, OpenEd Jam, a non-profit event, entirely run by volunteers. The idea to organize this event sparked out of a meeting of friends at a local hackerspace in San Antonio called 10BitWorks in December 2013. After discussing the use of free software and hardware in education, a realization was made that no hands-on event has been coordinated for the larger Open Education community. We wanted to get our hands dirty and minds engaged with the tools being created by this growing community.Thus, OpenEd Jam was born and realized in July 2014 with over 60 participants traveling from across the U.S. and internationally. The event was hosted by Rackspace and the San Antonio Downtown Library, making for a cohesive engagement with the local community.In order to capture the spirit of the event appropriately, the event name has changed this year to Libre Learn Lab.
