Friday, July 12, 2024: 5:00 pm (Little Theatre): North Korea is the only country you cannot leave. Within this prison state, anyone found with outside information may be publicly executed. Despite the risks, there's a growing thirst for outside information. Few organizations are able to quench it, as "dissemination tech" hasn't progressed much beyond balloons. This talk aims to inspire innovation among fellow makers. It will cover the technology that citizens of North Korea have access to as well as the tools the government uses to block open information access, while highlighting projects and individuals that are making a difference.
