==About CATS+==
[[CATS+|CATS+ (Collaborative Art + Technology Situation)]] is a residency and community program at The Museum of Human Achievement in Austin, TX that encourages thoughtful, critical, creative engagement with technology. The CATS+ Residency Program groups cohorts of artists and tech wizards to learn together, make new projects, and share their process. We host collaborations, artist-led workshops, hangouts, public showcases, and a wiki to remove the mystery from tech and make magic together. <br>

CATS+ creates access for underrepresented artists and under-resourced community members to critically incorporate technology and digital media into their practices through mentorship, tool access, skill-building workshops, peer-learning, and community. It offers technologists the opportunity to share knowledge and explore artistic, cultural frameworks.

==Eligibility==
Must live in the Austin area. <br>
Not for full-time university students or previous CATS+ residents. <br>
Applicants at all skill and career levels/fields are welcome. We encourage applications from individuals who have experienced barriers to and are seeking access to media and tech tools, knowledge, and community. <br>
Expected time investment is 6-10 hours per week.

==Application==
Tell us about you, what you're interested in learning and sharing, and include some links or a PDF of work samples. Don't sweat it - we don't need anything fancy. ;)<br><br>
