Since September 2018 the Digital Maker Collective (DMC), a group of University of the Arts London (UAL) staff, students, alumni, have been developing ‘Beta Society’: a project in collaboration with five partners: LionHeart In The Community (LITC), Black Thrive, Child Rights International Network (CRIN), Happy Finish and the Open Design & Manufacturing project (OD&M).
Beta Society event aimed to support greater diversity and equality of opportunity in the development and access of technology, education and the arts.
Through collaboration, partnerships, debate and action, event partners explored the pervasive impacts of technology on our everyday lives and collectively aimed to address the ever-increasing disconnect & inequalities we see in the development and access of technology, education and the arts, across society. See 'What is Beta Society' case study highlights the Beta Society development and the successful launch event at Tate Exchange, between 5-10 March 2019, where Beta Society event partners & guests welcomed and actively engaged 2437 members of public.
