§Calendaraligned to LACMA's biennial cadence

The Lab's new structure sets two public events: a 2027 Symposium (works-in-development) and a 2028 Demo Day (completed projects). This proposal anchors each phase to one of those events rather than a vague "final show."

Fall 2026 → Spring 2027Hardware & curriculum: expand AC Native to 5+ laptop models, build multi-piece boot menu, design 3-level KidLisp workshop curriculum, print reference cards (extending the sosoft card template used at UCLA).
-
Spring – Summer 2027Pre-Symposium: 2 pilot workshops at LACMA, prototype multi-station installation, publish v0 of the open-source build guide.
-
Fall 2027 · 2027 SymposiumLive AC Native demonstration — visitors and cohort artists boot the OS on their own laptops from a USB stick. Public KidLisp workshop in the museum. In-conversation on generative computing, situated alongside the 2023 cohort (Reas, Duke, Nickerson, Chang+Kelley, Porras-Kim).
-
Winter 2027 – Summer 2028Full installation build: kiosk-mode hardening, 20+ take-home USB drives, 4 additional workshops, documentation, curriculum translation (EN + ES).
-
Fall 2028 · 2028 Demo DayPublic premiere of the multi-station AC Native installation in the LACMA galleries. Open-source v1.0 release — build pipeline, hardware compatibility matrix, workshop curriculum for other institutions to adopt.
