Sensory tasting!
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona 2010, Programa, Programme on September 8, 2010
Cava Berdié will bring the "Sensory visit" we do at the winery to PodCamp Barcelona, transforming it in the "Sensory Tasting", where we will taste three very different Berdié cava, smell surprising fragrances and taste three extremely original "pinchos".
The tasting will take place on Saturday, September 18th, at 6.15 PM at Els Vienesos. Just one important issue: we need to know how many people we'll be. If you want to taste our cava, please leave a comment, send a message through the contact page or send us a tweet with the hashtag #pbcn10.
Cheers!

What is Geoforum?
Geoforum is a versatile participatory online geolacalisation tool. Built on the geolocalisation system of Google Maps, it enables points to be added to the map of a specific geographical space (neighbourhood. city, county, region etc) and each point is linked to a discussion forum to where opinions can be shared and additional information such as photos or videos can be added.

Kfé Innovación special at PodCamp Barcelona!
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona, PodCamp Barcelona 2010, Programme, Workshops on August 3, 2010
The second of the workshops programmed during PodCamp Barcelona is the Kfé Innovación/Innovation Café which will take place on September 14 in the cafe La Tarte du Jour (C/ Torrent Vallmora, 16, El Masnou) from 18:00-20:00.
Here's the post that the innovation cafe folks have written about it:
In the special PodCamp Barcelona Kfé Innovación we've decided to give another twist to our format. The idea that we've developed in Kfé Innovación Seville (one expert, 10 participants, thousands of ideas) will be taken to the extreme to create a "list of concerns and recommendations" arising from the "most difficult questions of the summer". Let's explain…
In the next few days Kfé Innovación and PodCamp Barcelona will launch a series of questions in social networks, with the objective of discovering general "concerns" with respect to the Internet (innovation, businesses, institutions etc.). This is what we mean by "the most difficult questions of the summer".
What will we do with the answers? Participants of PodCamp Barcelona will get together on Tuesday, 14th of September in a debate about your opinions and suggestions. The aim is to develop a summary of your contributions.
The questions are the following:
1. What is innovation? #KFEPC1
2. What is the possibility that Internet will provoke a real social change within five years? 0=none, 10=every (you can include comments) #KFEPC2
3. Which sector or institution needs to urgently change to incorporate the "2.0 philosophy"? #KFCPC3
4. An example of best practice in education. #KFEPC4
5. An example of best practice in public administration. #KFEPC5
6. An example of best practice in business. #KFEPC6
7. An example of best practice and citizen participation. #KFEPC7
Each question has an associated #. Opinions will be channelled (always using the corresponding #, please) in the following ways:
– Twitter. Please, don't forget the #
– As a comment on this post. You can answer all the questions in the same comment if you want. Please put the corresponding # at the beginning of each answer.
– By leaving a comment on our Facebook fan page.
– On the PodCamp Barcelona website, as a comment on the post (same format as above, with the corresponding #).
We remind everybody that the special Kfé Innovación session will be on Tuesday 14th of September at 1800 in El Masnou. If you can't attend you'll be able to follow the session on Twitter with #KFEPC or via streaming on the PodCamp Barcelona website.
(NB this event has no intention of being thought of as representative of the opinion of society. It's not a survey. The idea is simply to open the debate which will take place in the Kfé Innovación session at PodCamp Barcelona 2010).
Scratch Català at PodCamp Barcelona!
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona, PodCamp Barcelona 2010, Programme, Workshops on August 1, 2010
The first workshop in PodCamp Barcelona 2010 will be: Scratch programming workshop for kids from 8-99
The workshop, led by Eugeni Català from Scratch Català, will take place from 18:00 to 20:00 on September 13 at Els Viensos.
What is Scratch?
Scratch is a fun visual programming language created by people at MIT and focused on youngsters from 8-99. With it you can create interactive stories, animation, games, music, art. Your imagination is the only limit.
The main character is the cat Scratch, but it is possible to use other existing figures or create new ones to use in the projects.
"Construction blocks" are arranged by type and colour to make it easy to follow the programme and have to be placed in the corresponding space for the cat to do what is desired on the stage.
Once the programme has been made it can be posted to the MIT website so everybody can see and enjoy it — you'll be surprised by the number of people who'll be interested in your project. There are more than 1,209,000 projects which can be learned from as all our public and can be downloaded to see how they were created without any type of limitation, everybody shares their work and the community learns together.
It really teaches knowledge and experience sharing in an open and collaborative way.
How does programming help kids education?
Programming helps in the acquisition and improvement of mathematical concepts such as coordinates, variables and random numbers as well as comparisons and conditions. It also stimulates creative expression, logical thinking and the use of new technologies. This knowledge will open the door to future professions.
Many schools are incorporating this discipline in their curriculums, thereby achieving the development and improvement in the process of design and creation. Kids begin with an idea, create a prototype, experiment with it, evaluate what doesn't work well, look for collaboration with others to finally revise and redesign.

Announcing PodCamp Barcelona 2010
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona 2010 on June 21, 2010
Els Vienesos in El Masnou, home for PodCamp Barcelona 2010
PodCamp Barcelona 2010 will take place in El Masnou from September 13 to September 18th. Yes, that’s right, five days of PodCamp Barcelona — because this year we have a new venue, a new format and a theme: community.
PodCamp Barcelona has always been about community — in fact, the original idea of the event was to create a community out of the various people and projects using what could loosely be termed “web 2.0″. But this year, the theme is going to be more explicit and for this reason we have decided to change the format.
So what’s going to happen in El Masnou from September 13 to September 18?
From Monday, September 13 to Thursday, September 16 there will be workshops every evening. The idea of these workshops is to give back to the people of Masnou through our knowledge. If you want to run a workshop at PodCamp Barcelona, please contact us.
Friday and Saturday will be different however. Friday evening will see two sessions and a wine tasting. Saturday will have four sessions in the morning and after lunch, a sobremesa where each table will be able to discuss, provide ideas and conclusions about each of the six community sessions. The idea is to get everybody to participate whether they are presenting or not, and to crowd source ideas to further develop the six communities presented. Of course, there will be another winetasting after the sobremesa session, and possibly a concert by musicians who use social media in their work. If you wish to lead a community session please contact us.
The conclusions from the community sessions will be filmed and put on the TalkingAbout platform where the debate can continue.
There will also be a Speaker’s Corner where anybody will be able to present any project they want. The presentations at Speaker’s Corner will also be filmed and posted online. If you want to present in Speaker’s Corner please contact us.
All of this will take place as in a brand new building in El Masnou, Els Vienesos, gracias once again to the fantastic participation of El Masnou council in PodCamp Barcelona.
We hope that PodCamp Barcelona 2010 will enable more people to participate in the debate and lead to practical conclusions for ongoing community activity.
Oh yes, and one more thing: this year there are two new members in the PodCamp Barcelona team – welcome aboard @pdavenne and @moof
Bring it on!
