Oops all BK: NYU ITP in June
NYU ITP Summer Camp starts again next week. I'm pondering what sessions I might facilitate.
I'm heading back to NYU ITP Summer Camp this June. All the way to downtown Brooklyn each day*.
Last year I facilitated sessions on:
- Talking to LLMs over REST APIs
- General vinyl record nerdery
- ...and my wife Ryoko came in and taught an Ikebana flower arrangement workshop
(Oh wow: that list is my whole life now.)
At the time, I was especially reluctant to host the LLM session because it felt like things were changing so fast. I didn't want to give people outdated information. But of course, the pace only continues to increase. So maybe it's more about helping people jump into building with AI than providing a prescribed method of what to do with it.
In fact, just this week, in response to things I saw at last week's Astoria Tech meetup, I've switched IDEs again, adopted a new input method for my computer, and am starting to deep-dive into MCP usage.
I've been keeping a running list of topics I might offer sessions on during this ITP Summer Camp. But even a few days out, it still feels too early. The world (at least on my laptop) could be very different on Monday.
*I need things to do on the subway commute to and fro. Things that don't depend on a reliable cell connection.
