+* In Boston for Knight foundation and Mozilla foundation had a joint fellowship
+  * PBS Frontline
+  * 10 months ending Jan 2017
+  * Now hangs with MIT Media Lab
+    * Unofficially because no degree or visa
+    * Maybe independent contractor at Civics lab
+      * Probably won't get it, but find because Patreon
+* Learn to code by making games and animations in Flash
+  * Made an entire game without arrays
+* His why: understanding. Understanding systems.
+* So many directions
+  * Making explorables 
+  * Making tools enables others to make explorable explainations, games, models, learn by making.
+  * Another option is contriubting science, not just explaining science. Evolution of trust has a interesting scientific claims.
+    * a game theory where people can upload AIs and battle each other out to figure out research questions
+* storytelling steps
+  1. All about connections
+  2. Know who your audience is (so you know their connections)
+    a. Bret Victor is not into programming. He's just talking to programmers so he's talking in terms they'd understand.
+  3. Start with graph of knowledge / endpoint
+  4. Start point: start with why. 
+    a. Connect to something they already care about. 
+    b. Make them love the question.
+    c. Give them an interesting problem to solve. 
+    d. Story
+    e. Big question (how do people learn?)
+  5. Figure out best traversal of graph
+    a. Draw 3 outlines first to think about different structures 
+    b. Outline look like boxes with words connected by arrows of "therefore" or "but" (South Park guys)
+    c. Can do "meanwhile back at the ranch"
+  6. For each node in graph, connect to things people already know
+    a. Metaphors to things people already know about
+    b. Examples
+    c. Show
+    d. Allow audience to "do"
+
