On Thursday, September 12th, UBC’s Emerging Media Lab will host their 2024 Summer Showcase. This event is an opportunity for the UBC Community to learn about and experience our team’s summer projects.
First, we will hear from EML’s students as they discuss the innovative projects they completed during the summer and ask questions about their process, the product, and how the addressed the problem brought to them. Next, we will hear from a group of panelists made up of EML PI’s, as they discuss the role of emerging technologies within higher education, and how EML has allowed them to explore emerging technology within their respective disciplines.
Attendees will then get the opportunity to try out the projects and interact with the project teams.
If you are interested in emerging media, artificial intelligence, and technologies’ role in education, we look forward to welcoming you to this event.
