July 29-31, 9am-5pm at KQED (2601 Mariposa St., San Francisco, CA 94110)
The three-day Training Intensive is your team’s launch point for learning about QUEST resources and content. It is composed of mini-workshops, hands-on projects, and team planning. Each team will set goals and begin to develop their multimedia project.
Directions and Public Transportation Information Find directions to KQED, a map, and information on BART and MUNI.
Parking: All-day street parking is available on streets surrounding KQED. There are some streets with 1-hour and 2-hour parking restrictions, so please read signs carefully. You should plan to give yourself 20-30 minutes to look for parking on Friday. Finding a space on Saturday and Sunday will be much easier. KQED has a parking garage (entrance on York St.) that costs $7 and is available on Friday. Parking is limited and is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please carpool!
