SIGkids at SIGGRAPH 95 Coco Conn Co-Chair Interactive Communities Los Angeles Convention Center August 6-11,1995 At SIGGRAPH 95, Interactive Communities will explore how groups of people are using computer graphics, interactive media and network communications to build new types of communities and engage in new forms of social interaction. This article focuses on the educational projects which will be a part of Interactive Communities in 95, both on-site at the LA Convention Center and at various other locations around the world. The SIGkids education community will collaborate through an on-site digital production studio run by mentors and students. A SIGkids team will edit segments generated from on and off-site projects to create a daily program that will be sent out over the Internet during the week. SNAP, the School Networking Action Project, which includes several previous SIGkids participants (The Open School, The Riverside Museum of Photography, and The Computer Access Center), will present current network projects made possible by a recent Pacific Bell CALREN (California Research and Education Network) award. For the past two years, the Riverside Museum of Photography has been working on networked exhibitions that can now be enjoyed by students via electronic field trips. One
