We have 14 exciting projects, each focused on exploring both the\u00a0technical content and the sociopolitical context of their
\ntechnologies.\u00a0The\u00a0posters\u00a0are only the tip of the iceberg for the hard work of 506\u00a0students.<\/p>\n

As part of the CCT curriculm, all first-year students are required to take CCTP 506, Fundamentals of Technology. This spring semester, CCT students spent time in groups to dissect fourteen different technologies not only in the technical context, but also explored the sociopolitical context through their projects. The posters, designed by students, were only one aspect of this four dimensional term project that consisted of a video, final paper, website & online presence. As part of the final presentation, these student groups we also tasked with presenting their projects and materials at a poster session.<\/p>\n
