Meet the Franklin
October 3, 2008
If you had to sum Franklin up in one [rhyming] phrase, it would probably be best as The Innovation of Information Motivation.
That, in another word could nicely be: Inspiration.
Those involved in the group meet with respect of each other and simultaneously recognize the potential of sharing information, projects, and people who turn them on, get them excited, and, well, inspired.
Each lecturer, that is, Franklin gets to present their research or otherwise specialized experiences with the group while still orbiting around a central idea. The focus of everyone’s attention listening to the person who is speaking. Generally, everyone invited has created a presentation and lovingly shares it with the others. (It’s basically a grown-up show and tell.)
