Tech Education Collaborative, a local organization in the Electronic Frontier Alliance, (not EFF) will host this event:

TEC + Sober in Cyber Movie Night

From the Organizers:

Join us for a movie and snacks (popcorn, or bring your own!) as we watch the story of Aaron Swartz, who at 14 years-old co-wrote RSS 1.0. Swartz went on to help architect Creative Commons, fight SOPA/PIPA, and was a member of the World Wide Web Consortium, contributing to the development of the common data formats we still use on the web today. 

Non-alcoholic drinks will be provided by Sober in Cyber!

Though the movie does touch on the tragedy in his later life after brutal federal interrogation and prosecution, it's truly a movie about technical innovation in the earlier days of the internet and freedom of information.  

When:

Thursday, May 1, 2025
6 pm – 8 pm PT

Where:

Advanced Cyber Systems Lab
Room MA 2108
GateWay Community College-Washington Campus
108 N 40th St, Phoenix, AZ 85034
