Charrette. A charrette (pronounced [shuh-ret], consists of an intense period of design activity [thanks wikipedia] Combine this with one super awesome laser-etched bamboo USB drive that is now a permanent part of my keychain, 36 students from schools/colleges across Syracuse University, and one amazing collaboration space, and you’re bound for some good stories. The Topic [...]
It’s a cross between a Cinderella and a Christmas Story (those are the two best types of “stories” that come to mind)… but this one includes a personal favorite topic of mine: Gossip Girl.
