Welcome to UW-MANIAC!

What is UW-MANIAC? UW-MANIAC (Madison Area Network for Innovation & Collaboration) represents a network of continued collaborative learning and growth. This unique partnership includes a diverse group of UW-Madison departments and academic perspectives, as well as those from the private and non-profit sector. We host several events a year around a wide variety of topics, including the “Innovation and Collaboration Learning Café Series," a creative learning space that teaches creativity tools in an applied manner, a "Breakfast Series" in which members share inspiring ideas and creative approaches to work, and other opportunities to meet and share ideas, both through face-to-face conversation and virtual dialogue. Feel free to utilize this online community to share reflections, ask questions, incubate an idea, and re-connect with those friendly faces from the other events.

Getting Comfortable With Complexity on October 25th!

Sudden thunderstorms, unexplained traffic jams, ants finding food, sudden social change on a global scale—these are all examples of complexity. We live in a complex world—one that is interwoven and interdependent. Yet as our world grows more complex new and interesting properties emerge that never existed before.

 This October 25th workshop, titled "Getting Comfortable With Complexity" will feature presenter Christine Kelly. Christine is an independent educational designer and holds a doctorate in Science Education from the University of Maryland. She has spent that last 15 years as an environmental and sustainability educator. Her expertise includes transformative learning, complex systems thinking, online communities of practice, organizational learning and sustainability and environmental educational curriculum design.

She has created a video to get you excited for the event, check it out here!

And after, make sure to sign up for this workshop and get a chance to begin your journey of getting comfortable with complexity!
