SUMMARY:WISC STEMinars: Genetic Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Living things are made up of many\, many cells\, and these cells have instructions inside them called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). These instructions include things called “genes” which control the proteins our cells create\, and ultimately\, control how our cells look and behave! Genetic engineering is a super important development because we can build and alter genes to make cells look and behave in certain ways. Why is this a big deal\, and how does this help scientists better understand life? Learn with us and grad student Tyler Perdue at 11 am on April 10th! \nJoin us on April 10th at 11 am to hear a graduate student discuss their research and answer questions about being a scientist!

SUMMARY:Storytelling & The Art of Failure
DESCRIPTION:Failure is an important part of the engineering process. While youth (especially girls) fear failure\, STEM professionals have and continue to fail many times in their careers. In this workshop\, you will learn storytelling skills to help you artfully communicate your experiences with failing – and the lessons learned – to younger audiences. \nThe last half hour of the workshop will offer an opportunity to connect with local role model programs and network with other mentors. \nThis event is hosted by the San Diego STEM Ecosystem\, Women in STEM working group as part of the Role Model Initiative. \n\n\nTo register\, click HERE

SUMMARY:Girls Who Tech
DESCRIPTION:About\nGirls Who Tech is a three-day program designed to inform girls about the technology-driven changes shaping our future and inspire them to be a part of that change.  Participants will discuss key transformational technologies and learn about the skills and jobs of the future to envision the possibilities in the world of tomorrow. \nEvent Details\nGrades: Rising 8th – 12th\nDate: June 21 – 23\, 2021\nTime: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm\nLocation: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center | 104 Claude Yates Dr\, Franklin\, TN\nCost: $150 (lunch provided)\nEarly Bird Discount: $125 using code EARLY in the month of May!\nSize: 25 participants \n2021 Program Overview and Objectives\nDay #1: Exponential Technologies & Innovations \nWe live in a world where technology is growing at an exponential rate. We have seen more change in the last 50 years than in the previous 1000 years. \nStudents will learn about exponential technologies\, current breakthroughs in science and technology and discuss the profound impact on our lives and the world. Students will also get to play and interact with cutting-edge technologies such as VR/AR\, Robotics\, A.I.\, IoT gadgets igniting their imagination and developing their sense of what is possible in today’s technology. \nDay #2: Artificial Intelligence and Technology Ethics \nWe live in the age of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)\, where decisions affecting our lives – where we go to college\, where we shop or eat\, the type of ads and information we see – are all increasingly being made for us by machines. Those machines are developed by software engineers and other technology professionals\, only approximately 25% of whom are women. \nThe lack of women’s perspectives in the technology field introduces unconscious gender bias into these technologies and limits the technological innovations that could be made to benefit women. \nStudents will learn about the topic of Artificial Intelligence\, its ethical implications\, how algorithms can be designed with gender bias\, and what we can do to help reshape technology to work for everyone. \nDay #3: Future Jobs & Future Skills \nBy 2030\, up to 45% of tasks workers perform can be automated using current technology. While technologies will destroy many jobs\, they will also create many new ones. Widespread innovation is continuing to give birth to new industries\, all of which are sources of new jobs. \nStudents will learn about some of the most exciting emerging jobs and industries of the future while learning about the skills needed to help them adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world. \nWhat to expect\n\nEngage in conversations with industry speakers about key transformational technologies and their impact on our future.\nLearn about Artificial Intelligence and how it works.\nUnderstand how machines learn and create your own machine learning models.\nCreate your interactive computer program using Python.\nExperiment with wearable electronic platforms and create e-textile artifacts while expressing your creativity in a newly found way.\nMeet and greet NAO\, our friendly humanoid robot. You will use NAO to learn and practice key concepts in Graphical programming and explore how facial recognition\, speech recognition\, and motion detection technologies work.\nMeet role models and leaders from different sectors in the technology field.\nLearn about career paths in tech and how to pursue them.\n\nRSVP HERE
