Main Page

The MediaPedia is provided as an interactive reference to the MIT Media Lab's groups and projects in order to provide more community and interaction between the sponsors and researchers of the lab.

The page provides a source of information for lab sponsors about current research projects as well as a feedback mechanism for researchers to hear the compliments and critiques from sponsor visits.

What's Hot
The C4FCM/MBTA Hackathon is January 29th and 30th!

The Knight Foundation's Future of News and Civic Media Conference recently happened at MIT in the Stata Center and in the Media Lab. The following pages may be of interest to conference attendees:


 * Future of News/Cooperation Competition‎: Information and proposal about the competition for new projects during the conference.
 * Future of News / Future Civic Media BarCamps: proposals and edits for bar camps for the FNFCM09 conference.
 * Future of News / Future Civic Media DEMOs: proposals and edits for demos for the FNFCM09 conference.

History of the Media Lab
A place to add your memories of the Media Lab and its predecessor organizations, such as the Architecture Machine Group and the Visible Language Workshop.

Badge Project
At the October 2004 TTT meeting, lab sponsors had a chance to register interest in specific projects during the research open house. At the May 2005, a second-generation badge was used. Projects from both meetings are listed (and linked) below:
