The Art of Learning: Josh Waitzkin

Josh Waitzkin knows what it means to be at the top of his game. A public figure since winning his first National Chess Championship at the age of nine. After dominating the scholastic chess world for ten years, Waitzkin expanded his horizons, taking on the martial art Tai Chi Chuan and ultimately earning the title of World Champion. How was he able to reach the pinnacle of two disciplines that on the surface seem so different? “I’ve come to realize that what I am best at is not Tai Chi, and it is not chess,” he says. “What I am best at is the art of learning.”In his riveting new book, “The Art of Learning,” Waitzkin tells his remarkable story of personal achievement and shares the principles of learning and performance that have propelled him to the top — twice.

The Coming Era Of Interactive Design

This 18-minute documentary talks to some of the brightest in the industry about what’s next.

Connecting is a short documentary by Bassett & Partners and Microsoft that explores how our lives (and our gadgets) have and will change in a more connected world. It’s 18 minutes long but very worth the time, as it features interviews with designers from Method, Twitter, Arduino, Frog, Stamen, Microsoft, and Nokia.

Have You heard about the POPCORN LAB?

Come to Makers of Barcelona on 26th January for 2 hours of web native film-making.

From 20:00 to 22:00 we will explore the power of Popcorn, a JavaScript-powered library that takes the online video to another dimension.

During the two hours you’ll be given a short tour of Popcorn and Popcorn Maker, Mozilla’s open source tool for creating web video mash-ups.

You will learn:
•        how to create a simple video mash-up using Popcorn Maker;
•        if you are a JavaScript geek, discover the power and flexibility of Popcorn library;
•        if you are a filmmaker, you’ll have the chance to experiment hands on with Popcorn and see how the awesomeness of open web technologies can change the way we tell stories;
•        you’ll learn to write some lines of code too! (it’ll be fun, we guarantee)

This workshop is organized by Alina Mierlus.

Alina Mierlus (@alina_mierlus) is a facilitator, community organizer and Mozillian based in Barcelona. Through Mozilla, she is helping people and communities to build awesome stuff (and solve their problems) using web native technologies. You can follow her on twitter – @alina_mierlus or read more on her blog - blog.alinamierlus.com ”

Popcorn is a project by Mozilla Foundation, aimed to explore the intersection of web technologies and documentary making by building new tools, programs and a global community.

Mozilla (known best as makers of Firefox) is a global community of people sharing a common mission of keeping the web open, accessible and participatory.
