We Can Do Our Winterim Work Anywhere - Florida Next Week?

Hey. Doing some work...

On Thursday, we, the Winterim Social Media Team, which consists of Nate Sintros, Edward Hacala, and Mrs. Poulin, decided to take the Commuter Rail into Cambridge. After the Commuter Rail, we boarded the Red Line towards MIT, and on the train, we ran into The System Winterim group. Edward, being a responsible Social Media Team member, took mental notes of our conversation and wrote a blog article later that morning.

Nate is pretty focused

Our main purpose for coming to Cambridge was to visit the Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC), which is on Broadway Street in Cambridge, MA. During our visit we worked in a private conference room, the Rangoon, that overlooked Kendall Square. Once we got over our initial giddiness of writing on a "white board" wall and being able to display our computer on a 60 inch wall-mounted TV, we got down to work creating internet content by blogging, tweeting, and posting Winterim news.

The Rangoon Room

After a quick lunch break at Za, (where Mrs. Poulin had the strangest looking salad) we met with the CIC Relationship Manager, Augie Llona. He lead us on a tour of CIC and explained the inner workings of the organization. We observed an open, modern space full of innovative people who were either starting or maintaining companies. As Augie explained to us, if someone has an idea, CIC offers them the space and resources to act upon it and turn it into a successful venture.

The wonderful Social Media Team

While our Winterim project is not about creating a business per say, it is about being creative and resourceful. We are using some of the same social media sites that new businesses starting up now must use in order to advertise their company. We were inspired by the space CIC has to offer to help these businesses be innovative and network.  We hope to do our work from there again next week as it was a good change of scenery and pace from Mrs. Poulin's classroom!  (And Augie is trying to set us up with a tour of Google!
