8. Fall 1998 Experiment IBM donated 150 workpads
researchers working directly on the projects (above) + key staff
CS160 undergrad user interface course
All first year CS grad students + about 20 more
Diffused across activities, rather than focused on a project
Promote PostPC Bazaar
let students discover key challenges and new directions
Participants build their own pervasive infrastructure
=> Leading to a major new Expedition
