Spring Break Game Design Camp
2016-03-21 09:00 - 17:00 | 219 NW 20th ST, Suite #104, Miami, FL, 33127, United States
Gaming over the years has become a big part of our culture. Play is an integral step in growing up for children by allowing them to explore and test the virtual worlds they play in. We believe that understanding how something is built and then creating your own version leads to non standard learning and socialization. Becoming an active designer in the creation of games is a window into how to organize complex systems. This spring camp, we will introduce, analyze and launch very simple games that talk about the thought process and skills necessary to design a game. At the end of the week, the student will have been introduced to many different types of games, will analyze and understand how those games were made, will design and document an ordinary game, will create the music/art/logic and finally test out their game…

2016-03-22 18:00 - 21:00 | 400 Northwest 26th Street, Miami, 33127, United States
Have you heard of a new currency called bitcoin? Or a new technology called the blockchain? Almost $1BB has been invested into numerous startups over the past four years by prominant Venture Capital firms. Dozens of startups have been formed in Silicon Valley, New York, London, and as far away as Chile and India. And in the past year, large tech companies and banks have begun to work on new products and services that leverage this new currency and technology. Many companies across the financial services industry are concerned about bitcoin’s potential to substantially disrupt their business. Yet very few people understand what bitcoin is or how it works. Even fewer are able to grasp its potential to disrupt existing financial services or transform various types of transactions, whether financial or non-financial. This talk will provide you with a basic understanding of the economics and science behind bitcoin and the blockchain. With Bitcoin you can: – Send $1 or $1MM instantly and for free anywhere in the world, to a family member or a business – Guarantee that funds are received even if you don’t know or trust the recipient – Vote in a government or corporate election, with instant tallies and fully auditable, immutable and transparent voting ledgers Questions we will address include: What is bitcoin? How is it created? How do you use it? What is the blockchain? How does it work? Who can use it? How does bitcoin compare with other currencies today? what advantages does it offer? What risks? Is bitcoin secure and reliable? Is it stable as a currency? What problems can bitcoin solve? What problems is it addressing right now? Should you own bitcoin? Where will its price go over time? Come and learn how the technology behind Bitcoin works, what problems it is currently trying to solve, and how you can take advantage of the coming opportunities.

Music on Demand What.0?
2016-03-23 18:30 - 21:00 | 1010 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL, 33132, United States
Listening to a song now is likely to involve digital innovation. The music that used to be bought and owned is increasingly an ephemeral choice, ordered for limited periods when and as wanted. Delivery, consumption, and creation changes have been constants of the music industry. The evolutions have been from live to analog formats, to digital platforms such as compact discs and copies, to full downloads, and most recently internet streaming. Each shift has affected the relationship and income split between delivery intermediaries and the artists. Ubiquitous internet access coupled with smart phone and tablet sophistication now offer access that previously required premium services or a PC. Join us as at Music on Demand with our moderators and participants to discuss topic such as: What will be the next iteration of content delivery and distribution? Will it involve music only or incorporate other mediums? Which new delivery platforms will be developed? What role might big data play in target marketing and sales? Will it be easier for new or independent artists to obtain a market for their creations? Will new intellectual property tensions arise?
