Matt and Rob decided to do something a little different for this year’s 11th episode of Elevate.  Rather than covering a story, a project, or a person they held a conversation about the new social media platform called Clubhouse.  They invited Catlin Gabel parents, artists, and Clubhouse users Haleah Blank and Brian Rush to sit down for a conversation to explore the social and educational possibilities of this up and coming app.  With an emphasis on real-time audio, Clubhouse feels like a combination between the radio, a podcast, a large zoom session, and Instagram.  With a huge variety of “rooms” and “clubs” focusing on any topic conceivable, the user can listen in, ask to join a conversation or a performance and even start their own.  This lively conversation focuses on how Clubhouse works, how it has impacted people, and how it could be leveraged for professional development, social connection, and even societal change.

At this time only people invited by current Clubhouse users can get onto the platform.  If you are 18 or older and interested in joining we do have invitations that we can share with people.  Just go to this Google Form and let us know you are interested.   https://forms.gle/KiviJRJs1HcRwSJ49
