SUMMARY:Idea Jam
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nIdeas. We’ve all got ‘em\, rattling around in our busy\, distracted heads. Perhaps you’re harbouring the next big thing … Maybe it’s always been there\, but it’s hiding behind-to-do lists\, bank statements and status updates. It’s finally time to tip that idea out of your head and onto the page so you can actually do something with it. \nIdea Jam is a chance for creators\, new and old\, to clear all distractions and finally sculpt that secret\, nebulous idea you’ve been chipping away at for years into one that’s ready to act on… and maybe even figure out how to take it to the next step. If you’ve never done this sort of thing before\, there will be professional artists\, developers and industry experts on-hand to help transfer your concept from brain to pitch. \nThere will be advice in the form of breakout sessions and discussions about how to pitch your idea and take it further after the day. \nMatrix is a partner of this event

SUMMARY:NI Science Festival Anne-Marie Imafidon - She’s In CTRL
DESCRIPTION:How women can take back tech\nWhy are women so under-represented in the tech world? Why does this matter? What can we do about it? \nWhy do so many of us – particularly women – feel the tech world is beyond reach? Women are woefully under-represented in tech – they represent roughly a mere quarter of the UK STEM workforce. This means an ever increasing series of big decisions are made by a small number of people\, mainly men. \nSo\, what are the challenges for all of us who want to wrest back control? How do we get past the gatekeepers? When we do\, what are the opportunities that will open up – for us in our individual roles and for the future of tech? Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon shows we have more agency than we think\, drawing on her own experience and the stories of other pioneers and innovators to provide examples\, exercises and practical guidance for how to get started and take control. \nThere will always be problems. But\, as we know\, women are problem-solvers. \nAbout\nDr Anne-Marie Imafidon is a keynote speaker\, leader and creator of the award-winning social enterprise Stemettes\, which engages\, inspires and connects the next generation of women and nonbinary people into the science\, technology\, engineering and maths field. A recognised and respected thought-leader in the tech space\, in 2017 she was awarded an MBE for services to young women and STEM sectors. In 2020 she was voted the most influential woman in tech in the UK by Computer Weekly. \nMatrix is a partner of this event

SUMMARY:Digital Twins Where AI meets IoT
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are enabling our world to be replicated digitally – creating Digital Twins of our cities\, cars\, homes and even ourselves. A Digital Twin is an exact replica of something in the physical world\, with a unique aim – to help improve the real-life version. \nThis workshop is organised by the School of Computing\, Ulster University and will introduce the emerging field of Digital Twins\, showcasing cutting-edge technologies and concepts at the intersection of IoT and AI. You’ll have an opportunity to get hands-on with these technologies through a number of interactive demonstrations\, covering topics such as sensor technologies\, machine vision\, robotics\, virtual/ augmented reality\, chatbots and simulation. \nThis event will take place in BC-03-115 and the Level 3 Atrium of the Ulster University Belfast Campus. \nNB: Although registration is free\, it is mandatory to obtain the visiting pass in order to access the BC building.
