Boulder Digital Works • 1011 Walnut Street, 2nd Floor, Boulder, CO

Boulder Digital Works is a 60 week program and new kind of digital learning environment developed by the University of Colorado at Boulder through the early support of founding partner MDC Partners and with input from Sweden’s Hyper Island and The Society of Digital Agencies (SoDA).

BDW is a project-based and accredited learning initiative focused on developing today and tomorrow’s digital leaders and entrepreneurs. With a mix of Business, Creativity, and Technology, this program is a real-time learning experience through teaching current and future skills within the industry.

In 60 Weeks, you’ll learn to think globally, design innovatively, and learn to see past perceived barriers. You’ll be exposed to some of the brightest minds in the digital world. You’ll come out of the program with the ability to think big — and the skill set to make it happen.

Check out the website for more details. Start now to get your application in for the next session. If the 60 week program isn’t right for you, look into the 36 hour workshops. The next workshop, “Making Digital Work”, is April 14-16 and led by Matt Howell of Modernista! and Gareth Kay of Goodby Silverstein & Partners.

Also, every Wednesday, BDW hosts “Idea Studio.” This is an interactive presentation in which different leaders and entrepreneurs come in from various agencies and speak to the public about what they do, how they got there, and how to think creatively.

Regardless of your knowledge or experience in the digital world, you’ll always get something out of it. It’s a great networking opportunity and BDW is so lucky to have these creative minds share their ideas and insights with us.

[About this Shoot: I met with @ZinzGallagher at the @bdwcu office. It was a slow day but they wanted to showcase the fun aspects of the space. The first photo is a wall mural they recently commissioned Mike Scarano and Josh Wills of Factory Design Labs in Denver to complete. The second photo (below) is a room that the students created. It's a simple wood frame with clear plastic wrap and a circle hole entrance on the side.]
