Introduction to 3D Modeling and Printing
Sat, Sep 5, 5:00 PMIntroduction to 3D Modeling and Printing is back! The course will be split into two portions. The first two hours will focus on the user interfaces for three modeling programs: Tinkercad, OpenSCAD, and Blender. In each program, we'll learn how to create and modify 3D objects. We'll cover how to export geometry (STL) files from each platform and load them into the slicing software, Cura, to generate the instructions (gcode) file for the 3D printer. Finally, we'll talk about how to load that file up into the 3D printer for printing. The second part of the course will be an open workshop where everyone can try modeling something on their own. The instructor will be available to answer questions and assist. Requirements (Please bring a OSX or PC laptop with the following software installed and a mouse with a scroll wheel): tinkercad.com (create a free account to use) openSCAD: http://www.openscad.org/ Blender: https://www.blender.org/download/ Cura: https://ultimaker.com/en/products/cura-software

Technology for Mass Engagement
Tue, Sep 15, 10:00 PMHosted by: [The AIA NY Social Science and Architecture Committee](https://www.aiany.org/committees/social-science-architecture-committee/) In Partnership with: [PLASTARC](https://plastarc.com/) New technologies are reshaping how communities participate in decisions about the built environment, creating new opportunities to broaden who is engaged, how people contribute, and how public input informs planning and design. With the launch of Mayor Mamdani's[ Office of Mass Engagement](https://www.nyc.gov/content/organize/pages/), New York City is investing in new approaches to civic participation and exploring how technology can support more inclusive, accessible, and responsive engagement at scale. This conversation will bring together leaders in civic technology, community engagement, and the built environment to explore the tools, platforms, and methodologies transforming public participation. From digital engagement platforms and participatory technologies to new approaches for collecting, interpreting, and acting on community feedback, panelists will examine how technology can strengthen the connection between communities and the decisions that shape their environments. The discussion will consider the opportunities and challenges of technology-enabled civic participation, and what emerging models of mass engagement mean for architects, planners, policymakers, and the communities they serve. **Hear from the Innovators Ready for the OME:** * **[inCitu](https://www.incitu.us/):** Democratizing city planning by bringing urban development to life through spatial data and Augmented Reality (AR)—allowing residents to literally see the future of their neighborhoods. * **[Convoca](https://convoca.org/):** Innovating at the intersection of civic tech and community organizing to mobilize the public and break down the traditional barriers to local agency. * **[Urban Sense](https://www.urbansense.city/):** Using technology and urban data to better understand how people experience and engage with cities, creating new opportunities to inform more responsive, people-centered planning and decision-making. * **[PLASTARC](https://plastarc.com/):** Leveraging social science and data-driven spatial strategy to design environments that inherently foster human connection and participatory experiences. **Event Details:** * Registration: Opening soon! **Stay Tuned:** We are currently finalizing the details for this exciting tech refresh. Keep an eye on the AIA NY Social Science and Architecture Committee and [register at AIA NY](https://calendar.aiany.org/day/2026-9-15/). **Why You Should Attend:** As cities seek more meaningful ways to engage communities, technology is reshaping how residents participate in planning, policymaking, and the design of the built environment. This event brings together architects, urbanists, civic leaders, and technology innovators to explore the platforms, methods, and emerging practices driving this transformation. Expect an evening of dynamic presentations highlighting civic technology, data driven engagement, and innovative approaches to gathering and acting on community input. Through case studies and discussion, speakers will examine how these tools can help create more inclusive, transparent, and responsive processes for shaping New York City's future.
