Media Sandbox Capstone Series
Following TEDxLansing 2012
Friday, April 13 | Lansing Public Media
Center | 2:30p to

With a focus on
information design and video entertainment, the inaugural Media Sandbox Series
explores visual communication through the lenses of design, business and
technology. Our guests aren’t just good; they’re the best. They’ll tell us
about how their brains operate (or try to, at least) and the work that they do.
Following their talks, a panel will convene for an interactive conversation
including those burning questions we’ll surely want to ask.
The Media Sandbox Series is a collaboration between
the College of Communication Arts & Sciences at
