Creative Use of Technology Grant

The DMC and Homewood Student Affairs offer an annual grant program for students who can demonstrate a new and creative use of technology. Application deadline has been extended to November 9, 2007.

You need not be an artist to make creative use of technology. Through this grant we hope to inspire creative interactions between humans and technology. Projects may range from inception through development of new processes, tools, interfaces, and static or interactive works of art.

Any full-time student enrolled in the Johns Hopkins schools of Arts and Sciences or Engineering may apply for the grant. We encourage collaboration with students from other schools and community members.

Proposals should be written in Microsoft Word or PDF format and emailed to digitalmedia@jhu.edu.
