Randy Pausch - Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams - Webcast in ZML this Tuesday at 1:30pm PST
We will be enjoying a live webcast lecture by Randy Pausch on "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" in the ZML this Tuesday, Sept. 18th, at 1:30pm PST.
Randy Pausch is a Professor of Computer Science, HCII, and Design at CMU; a Co-Founder of the Entertainment Technology Center; and a role-model and friend for many here at IMD. The original lecture will be given at CMU's McConomy Auditorium. Randy gave a guest lecture in ZML in 2004, the posted comments give a taste of how much we enjoyed his earlier talk.
Description:
Almost all of us have childhood dreams: for example, being an astronaut, or making movies or video games for a living. Sadly, most people don't achieve theirs, and I think that's a shame. I had several specific childhood dreams, and I've actually achieved most of them. More importantly, I have found ways, in particular the creation (with Don Marinelli), of CMU's Entertainment Technology Center (etc.cmu.edu), of helping many young people actually *achieve* their childhood dreams. This talk will discuss how I achieved my childhood dreams (being in zero gravity, designing theme park rides for Disney, and a few others), and will contain realistic advice on how *you* can live your life so that you can make your childhood dreams come true, too.
