Founded in 2010, TECHNE is an educational initiative whose goal is to close the gender gap in technology oriented endeavors and create agency for a diversity of participants in technical fields. TECHNE's unique programs challenge typical technical learning environments by embedding technology learning amid a confluence of activities that include electronic instrument building, musical improvisation, contemplative practice and social justice education. Join TECHNE co-founders Bonnie Jones and Suzanne Thorpe as they discuss their pedagogical strategy, and its ability to effect community change, with a talk and demonstrations.
