Great see such enthusiastic participation at the design research workshop by design students from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Topic was 'Designing Smart Tech User Experiences for the super elderly'.
Always a pleasure to have enthusiastic 100+ students (from Chile) in a workshop - 'Design of Smart Tech UX for the Super Elderly'. ESTUDIANTES DE TERCER SEMESTRE PARTICIPAN EN WORKSHOP DE HERRAMIENTAS DE ANÁLISIS PARA PROYECTOS DE DISEÑO diseno.uc.cl/2024/05/estudia…

It's been a truly demanding first week as Chief Minister. It's hands-on, full swing, and all-encompassing. However, my two bosses, @PresidentBio and @VP_Jalloh, make the work feel lighter. Every minute, we are doing something to make life better for citizens. Every minute!

Why not talk about today’s existing harms instead of inventing future ones? Such a good question—>
"The contradictions have been heightened, with the godfathers of AI and others speaking out and authoring these particular letters about futuristic potential harms. However, many women have been warning about the existing harms of artificial intelligence for many years."
Tawana Petty, AJL's Director of Policy and Advocacy, joined a roundtable discussion on @democracynow to comment on recent warnings from the "godfathers of AI," contrasting their future concerns to the existing work of organizations like AJL to fight current biases and harm created by artificial intelligence.

This past Sunday, HCE's Core Complex Problems course Making the Modern World held a Design Conference. For the past seven weeks, students designed prototypes to increase accessibility on our campus. These models were presented to other students and guest judges!

Fascinating talk on #Design for #impact by @mickeymcmanus — w/ @BostonCollege @BC_VPR Design & Innovation @sunand_bc
Thank you Dan. The workshop, 'Formation Through Design Thinking' turned out to be a great event. Thanks Dan @riehs for all your hard work and partnership.
Setting up for a big design thinking workshop @sunand_bc and I are facilitating over two days at the AJCU HR conference. This room still doesn’t have enough wall space, but at least there’s plenty of natural light!

Meet Suhani Gupta, Class of 2026! Suhani is from Cincinnati, Ohio.
Why did Suhani want to be apart of the HCE Program?
"I was looking for a program that has a connection with STEM and the empathy aspect of people. This program involves both which I love!"
What a wonderful and thought provoking keynote by Paul Romer. Very apt for opening our new building housing human-centered engineering, the making and prototyping spaces and the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society.
Nobel laureate @PaulRomer was the keynote at an event to formally open BC’s new integrated science building. on.bc.edu/3C0YpC8

Learning ecosystems have been gaining global attention as a conceptual framework. The Pittsburgh Principles explores how to make that concept a reality in your community. remakelearning.org/pghprinci… #RemakeLearning @remakelearning
Not your everyday engineering course! So proud to see how the BC Human-centered Engineering program is rolling out new/innovative courses to its freshman that encompass technology and the liberal arts ( history) fused together addressing complex societal problems. Much needed! – at Chelmsford, MA
