ISTE18: Apple #EveryoneCanCreate Collaborative Artwork At ISTE

Last year Apple magically created the #ForTheLoveOfLearning mural from photos of conference attendees taken throughout the conference and strategically piecing them together to create a work of art by the final day.

What's #ISTE17 without a little magic? Thanks for sharing your inspiration, ideas & passion. We built this together #ForTheLoveOfLearning. pic.twitter.com/qAYzpefngn

This year Apple has announced a new collaborative challenge for attendees that promises to produce another piece of art from inspirational sketches. I can't wait to see the results come together!
