Schedule
8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. – Check-in and Breakfast
9:10 a.m. – 10:10 a.m. Science Communication Workshop
Accurate and engaging science communications are needed more than ever. In this workshop on science communications, Lynne Winter (Associate Director of Advancement Communications at MSU Denver) will share tips for debunking misinformation, simplifying complicated ideas to communicate with laypeople, applying storytelling techniques to engage a wider audience, and using AI as a support rather than a crutch.
10:20 a.m. – 11:20 a.m. – AI-Powered Data Visualization in STEM Workshop
Discover how generative AI can revolutionize data visualization in STEM by automating the creation of insightful, tailored charts and enhancing the analysis of complex datasets. In this workshop, Dr. Ranjidha Rajan (MSU Denver Dept. of Computer Sciences) will teach participants to harness AI-powered tools to generate, refine, and interpret visualizations, empowering their research and projects with cutting-edge technology.
11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. – Lunch and Keynote Address: “Leaning into Your Humanity in the Age of AI,” Amanda Moriuchi, CEO AppIt Ventures
In today’s age of generative AI, many of us are left wondering if we’ll have jobs in the future, and what value we actually would bring to the table if AI replaces our jobs. In this keynote, Amanda will share recent commentary from across the spectrum as it relates to generative AI, and compare that to what most jobs require of us today. We’ll take this time to explore what truly makes us human, and how we can lean into our unique strengths and humanity, setting ourselves apart from AI. Learning the boundary between human and machine, at least when it comes to thinking and working, will leave listeners inspired to lean into their strengths and unique humanness.
1:10 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. – Coding Workshop
Take an interactive journey into coding, creativity, and the world of STEM with the Girls Who Code College Loops MSU Denver Student Chapter. This student-led organization is dedicated to connecting students to each other, and providing support and resources to help them thrive!
