4iP has announced a partnership programme that should allow just about any organisation to join the 4iP network at some level, as long as it has proven itself to be ambitious, innovative and sympathetic to the principles of the 4iP fund.
If you’d like to discuss how your organisation can get involved, drop us a line at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
The four main levels of partnership are:
Global media partners: Channel 4 is already in dialogue with international platform partners (such as Google and Bebo).
Regional development partners: to date a range of key regional partners have signed up or expressed interest, in areas such as the North East, the South West and Northern Ireland.
Strand partners: this is centred on arts, science and public service bodies that may wish to pursue a particular strand of 4iP-supported activity.
Project partners: these are either commercial companies/brands or public sector bodies that may wish to join the fund on a project-by-project basis as ideas, concepts and platforms emerge.

Great to meet so many of you at 2gether08. I’m excited by all the possibilities of 4IP. Congrats for sponsoring such an inspiring event. It’s great to see Channel4 being so progressive.

I especailly liked the session on Phobias. Felt sorry for the guy who was afraid of balloons. Unlike the other fears of spiders etc, it wasn’t taken that seriously by the audience. Made me wonder about the irony involved in being afraid of something that is intrinsically comic. Is there a term for this?

I acme across you via an introduction to NTI in Leeds and then following up some links on their web site ...
FTT is a small high tech training and consulting company ...
We also sell educational robotics kits etc. through our Robotiq web site http://www.robotiq.co.uk
Recently I set up the UK Robotics Education Foundation http://www.ukref.org.uk
In connection with our mission of encouraging “teaching through robotics” we are setting up various workshops for teachers, artists ...
New workshops that will be appearing shortly will include
Arduino and Scratch workshops ...
There is a chance that we will be running and Arduino workshop at this year’s UKUUG (UK Unix User Group) Summer Conference ...
Also, if you look at the UKREF web site we are trying to get a couple of robot competitions of the ground .. both should have strong public interest and entertainment value .. and any useful contacts would be most appreciated ...
“The Great SHRDLU Revival”
“The Great Robot Dance Competition”
We are starting to get various donations of software and hardware for use in UKREF workshops, as well as donations of prizes for the robotics competitions referred to above .. Once again, any useful contacts ( individual or organisations ) would be much appreciated.
