This year, the MozFest Science Fair theme is inspired by Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower - An Opera. This marks the beginning of a two year collaboration with composer and librettist, Toshi Reagon. Drawing from the core thematic focus, and narrative direction of this powerful book, we will translate and emulate these themes through projects, people and programs from across the internet health movement. The event will be held in Mozilla Hubs in order to build an experimental virtual and interactive imagining of the Parable narrative and world.

We will demo projects that align with the story, and present manifestations of the themes: sustainability, decolonization, planting seeds, and emergence.

Exhibiting projects include:
URSOR - A search engine and browser for kids,
Pollicy,
Internews ADAPT (Advocating for Data Accountability, Protection, and Transparency) Project,
Internet Freedom Foundation,
Climate Refugees,
Waste as a Public Good.
