Digital Capital Week and H Street Pop-up Lab June 11-20

News from the DC Office of Planning:

Digital Capital Week, the District’s first-ever digital arts and technology festival, will take place June 11 – June 20, 2010. Residents and community leaders are encourage to participate.

The festival will feature workshops, hands-on projects and networking. It will bring activity to various neighborhoods, support small business development and entrepreneurship, and create more supportive infrastructure for innovation and idea-sharing. H Street residents can get involved in a number of ways, including attending festival events and proposing activities for a pop-up lab at the R.L. Christian Library at 1300 H Street. The pop-up lab is intended to serve as a hub where the community and festival attendees can collaborate and work on digital arts and technology projects, including those that support H Street revitalization and design.

You can provide suggestions on activities for the pop-up lab by contacting the DC Office of Planning: Jennifer Hughes (Jennifer.Hughes@dc.gov) or Sakina Khan (Sakina.Khan@dc.gov), or at 202 442-7600 by May 28.
