Harvard/Stanford Students: Apply to Join "Ideas for a Better Internet" Seminar with Profs Zittrain & Stark

Ideas for a Better Internet, a joint Harvard/Stanford interdisciplinary seminar, will continue a year-long arc of developing and building ideas for a better internet. During the fall, students will incorporate ideas identified by a public call for proposals from the previous spring, and work through the process of building out these ideas.  During the winter term students will finalize the projects that they have developed throughout the fall semester, engage in visits to companies and organizations, and prepare a working demo or proposal to be presented at a culminating event with leaders of Silicon Valley and beyond.  By the end of the course, students will have launched their solution-based projects to the world in conjunction with those proposing the ideas.

The fall portion of the course will meet concurrently at both Harvard and Stanford. The two courses will keep in contact throughout the semester and will have a common mailing list, among other things. The winter term portion of the course will take place at Stanford University. Harvard participants will have subsidized travel and lodging for the period.

Students will be selected via an application process. The application form can be found here. More information can be found in the Harvard Law School course catalog and Stanford Law School course guide.

Applications are due on July 31, 2011 with admission on a rolling basis.
