Mission Control Workshops at ISDC '98 in Milwaukee

• Europa Workshop III
• A "Solar System Economic Geography Textbook Binder"
• Founding "U-LuCy", the University of Luna in Cyberspace

 

• These workshops work great for groups of 5-20 people
• Depending on the number of participants, after an introduction to the overall topic and challenge for the workshop, we break up into 2 or 3 working groups. each with their own subtopic.
• After a couple of ours of group brainstorming (a leader at each round table keeps notes, as well as gathers contact information), we meet as a whole, and the leader from each group tells all the inevitably surprising and exciting results each group has come up with. Participants are amazed and delighted.
• After the leaders submit their reports, a write-up of the workshop is published in Moon Miners' Manifesto and circulated to each of the participants.
