1:00 PM - 4:00 PM (partial attendance OK)
MIT Stata Center, Kiva Room (32-G449)"

There is a QR code that says "Limited capacity please register!!" and a link to https://social.wiki

The apps around include a pink discord-like app called "PinkCord", an app called Pixel Flip for collaborative pixel art, a messaging app where the messages are targets, a game of Othello, a microblog called stanza, an apple notes-like app, a figure drawing app with a poorly drawn bunny, and an instant messenger where all messages are handdrawn.
