By participating in ACTLab activities or signing up for ACTLab courses you
are becoming a member of an ongoing community with members on campus, at other
universities, and in the professional world. Many ACTlabbies have gone on to
their own startups or to major corporations in a wide variety of fields, and
still participate in ACTLab life. ACTLab liaisons with other universities will
permit students to take courses at sister labs around the world and receive
RTF course credit for doing so. During the semester alumni from around the globe (the "Old Borgs' Network")
visit the ACTLab and share their practical knowledge, bizarre insights, and
true-life dramas from the Other Side. We are constantly refreshing the ACTLab
community network through our mailing lists, personal visits by alumni and special
guests, and classes' forays into exciting professional and aesthetic environments.
To sample our community you can take ACTLab classes, join ongoing projects, or help plan future events and courses. As you get to know other labbies here and around the world you will develop a sense of how you relate to our approaches to education, research, community, and making. This is an indispensable process, since our freewheeling style, with its emphasis on self-motivation, persistent exploration, and risktaking, isn't for everyone.
