Learning Interactive Visualization Experience Lab - LIVE Lab

Due to the extreme weather conditions predicted for this weekend and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our speakers, attendees, and staff, we have made the difficult decision to reschedule Node&Code. We now plan to hold the conference the weekend of March 20–21.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. This decision was not made lightly, and we appreciate your understanding as we prioritize everyone’s well-being. We truly appreciate your interest in our event.

Thank you for your flexibility and continued support.

We had an out-of-this-world experience in the LIVE Lab last Friday! 🚀 Professor Dickey from Texas A&M School of Law brought Space Law to life with a special seminar, using an interactive project we built together! ✨

Meet the Pyramid Project: Professor Dickey’s unique teaching tool, designed right here with our team. Why a pyramid? In his words:

“A pyramid is a compelling way to describe how humans use and govern outer space. Law follows action, and that is especially true in space. As space activity and space law evolve, the pyramid helps illustrate how everything fits together: each layer builds upon the one below it, and each face reflects a vital aspect of space law.”

Collaborations like this across disciplines show what’s possible when technology and law come together. We’re grateful for Professor Dickey’s visit and excited to keep creating innovative projects that connect, inspire, and expand our horizons!
