Don’t miss this! The fourth annual HBCU Technology Conference presented by HP will take place virtually September 10-12, 2024. The event will host tracks for the entire HBCU Campus: CIOs and IT Staff, Faculty & Staff, Executive Leaders, and Students.
This year’s theme is “Explore. Enhance. Empower. Shaping the future of AI at HBCUs.” We will discuss Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education and explore AI topics of importance to HBCUs:
· Policy and governance
· Implementation and security
· Teaching and learning solutions and use cases
· Ethics and bias
· How AI is impacting future of work trends
· And more
Opening the conference will be Sal Khan, Founder and CEO of the nonprofit Khan Academy. You will not want to miss his session: Harnessing AI for Education so All Students Benefit. AI is nascent technology, but we already find ourselves at a crossroads. Will we amplify AI’s benefits equally across society or will we allow an AI gap to form that leaves some students out? Sal Khan, founder and CEO of the nonprofit Khan Academy, talks about the potential for AI to transform education. He will discuss his plan for using AI to help empower all students to reach their full potential to and assist teachers, so they can focus on the very human work of instructing a classroom full of kids. Imagine an entire generation activated, engaged, and exploring new ideas, creating change bigger than any of us can imagine.
You will also hear from HBCU faculty, staff, IT professionals, and leaders, HP, Intel, Microsoft, and others in academia and the tech industry. Visit the conference website to view the full agenda.
The student experience, The Future of Work Academy (FOWA), is a program designed to help students imagine and prepare for their future work through three main activities:
- Interactive Symposium. Virtual interactive workshops focused on skills needed for early careers. Each session will provide an opportunity for students to put what they learn to practical use.
- Career Accelerator. The HP University Recruitment Team will share tools, strategies, and resources to help students strengthen their interviewing acumen and develop their professional persona. Students will be able to create their career profiles with HP and upload their resumes during registration.
- Innovation Incubator. Students participated in a summer learning journey and prepared for a prompt-a-thon competition. Competition finals will take place on the last day of the conference.
