Through My Window at Bloomfield
Looking for an opportunity to mentor young people as they explore the potential future of technology through an interactive and immersive program called Through My Window. Students in this program will explore the potential and ramifications of artificial intelligence through a program designed by Smith College and Springfield Technical Community College through a National Science Foundation Grant. This weekly program will have students use interactive online components as well as in-person activities to help them gain a level of understanding and confidence on the subject and ethical implications of the development of artificial intelligence.
This program will be held on Friday afternoons from 3:20 to 4:20 at the CREC Museum Academy in Bloomfield. Mentors do not have to experts in technology or science. Mentors need to be interested in helping young people explore new topics and challenge themselves to grow.
There are opportunities for twice a month up to once a week.
