Last year, Thicket made it out to Austin to talk about tech and disconnected youth. This year, we're very excited to share that Thicket has three proposed talks at the 2017 South by Southwest Interactive Festival in March.

Please help us go to both SXSW and SXSWedu by voting for our proposed sessions!

Future of Film Experience: Seeing Viewer Emotions
Thicket is working with Dance Films Association to use data visualization to engage audiences. Hear about La Medea, a simultaneous dance-theater performance, made-for-camera Latin variety TV show, and live streamed feature film inspired by Euripides’ Greek tragedy. Find out where technology & audience interaction is leading the film festival experience in the future.

SXSWedu: Youth-Led Problem Solving In Action
Too many education programs aren't directly designed for young people's specific needs. Hear from the TechTank Fellows who helped design the program, and join a strategic problem-solving workshop led by the Fellows to brainstorm ways to involve youth in the program design process.
