THe Netlogo Center is running their first in person conference at the end of June in Chicago (info and registration). It's an event I'm looking forward to attending and also to be presenting at. I've been using NetLogo for over a quarter of a century. Well, that's not entirely true. I haven't actively used it for a while now, being retired, and for my last gig, at Hunter College, I used it sparingly.

This past Friday I ran a third iteration of Pitchfest. The first one was last may (link). I also ran Pitchfest in the Winter but that one was smaller. We had 36 students forming 17 teams from 9 CUNY campuses. We also had a bunch of tech professionals. There were more entries that we couldn't accomodate but the 17 teams along with the tech professionals basically filled the room to capacity.

Devorah and I are spending the week in Boston, well techincally Cambridge. We came up last year around this time and had a big StuyCS meet up hosted at Formlabs. I was talking to my friends in the Stuyvesant HS Alumni Association figuring there were probably a lot of StuyCS grads in the Boston area and we agreed that we should do a meetup there. Then a couple of grads offered the space at Formlabs and we were off to the races.
