The most important thing…

… to remember is you don’t need permission or a specific project to make good use of the Emerging Technology Center. All you really need is a question. Project work is welcome here, isn’t necessary to get started in the space. Depending on your interests, and what you looking to do, the ETC has several ways to support you in using emerging technology in your practice.

Hang Out

Just stop in and chat. See what’s going on. You’ll probably be surprised at what you find.

Self-Directed Projects

If you have something you want to try, or a question you want to investigate, send an email to etc_group@miad.edu and schedule an appointment to come in and try stuff out. If you need training on the use of particular equipment we can help with that too. Just start. If you don’t know where to start, and just have an inkling of an idea, let’s chat.

Work for the ETC

If you have an interest in working with a ride range of new technologies, and love being helpful, working in the ETC is great opportunity. The number of positions is limited, but applications are always welcome. Email Kayle Karbowski for more information.

Class projects

If you are working on an assignment for a class, and you think a process might be helpful, stop in and see us. If you are MIAD faculty, and are interested in how to best use the ETC in your curriculum, send an email to etc_group@miad.edu , and we will ge the ball rolling!
