The course would consist of 3 sessions for each student, plus a launch day. The course can accomodate anyone from age 8 and up. There would be a small cost to cover the cost (estimated to be about $10-$20, depending on which rocket kits are used) of a rocket kit or parts, tools, and equipment required. The class would be held in center city Philadelphia, while the launch site would probably be in the suburbs.
The first would be an (optional) design session, for students to design their rocket if building from scratch. Students working with a pre-built kit could skip this session.
The second session would be a build session, where those with pre built kits would build their rockets from kits, and those who had previously designed one could build their design. The first two sessions can be a morning and afternoon of the same day, with a gap before the next to allow glued parts to dry.
Playing Making Recording Ver. 2
The purpose of this class is to bring musicians together for music making and album recording, tentatively set for some time October 2010. (More details to come). This will be the second time a course of this nature has happened. It first commenced in June 12th and June 13th 2010 at Basekamp in Philadelphia. To listen to music from the June 12th and June 13th gathering please go to http://making.bandcamp.com.
About:
One full weekend, 2 days and 2 nights (8am-12am) will be dedicated to music making and recording with a participating group of musicians. The course is open to all musicians currently at all levels of proficiency.

We have setup a mailing list for “There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing.”Click here to signup.
This is a discussion list for The Public School project, “There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing.”
** What this list is for **
1. We will post any last minute details for or changes to meeting places here.
2. It will be the place for any follow-up discussion and some kind of daily summary.
3. A place where anyone else anywhere (including people at various Public Schools who are reading along or running parallel sessions) to participate as much as you want to – send responses, questions, provocations, photos, demands, etc.
I might be able to teach or facilitate this, and can at least contribute some knowledge of a few specific experimental schools which vary rather greatly: Summerhill, the Free University of New York, the Oberlin Experimental College. I'd like to be more familiar with The Public School before taking responsibility for this, though.
This course would highlight the benifits of raw food. The class would preferable include a teacher who could also share with the class the basics of safety and identification in relation to consuming foods commonly found in nature.

I. Summary
The intention of this seminar would be to leverage technology, information-age info abundance, peer-to-peer organizational techniques, and our often under-applied educations to produce a formidably large and mind-bogglingly "interdisciplinary" symbolic weapon (namely, a book). The idea is that with enough people, even modest but consistent research contributions over the course of a few months could produce a book that could make Professor Suzy Q's four-year book project look like an antiquated, anachronistic pamphlet. My wager is that postmodern information conditions (referenced above) have so far given a free pass to the old ideologies of authorship and our expectations surrounding academic research work, but that with a little effort and organization, we could build a collective writing machine that may really work toward exploding them.
