We had a unique opportunity to learn about the design process while participating in a design workshop today.  Dr. Greg Walsh,  the head of the University of Baltimore’s Center for Digital Communication, Commerce, and Culture conducted the workshop.

The students broke into groups and each developed multiple ideas that would utilize AI to improve lives that were fair, ethical and equitable. They developed many ideas including a device that would translate between ASL and spoken language and one that would analyze data to detect natural disasters and develop a response plan.

We first worked with Dr. Walsh more than 10 years ago and appreciated this opportunity to renew this relationship and work with him again. We are exploring how to incorporate this learning into a regular seminar at the school.

The multitalented Skizz Cyzyk was our guest artist this week in our weekly art series curated by Cheryl Fair. Skizz is a filmmaker, musician, Dj, artist and promoter of artists. He shared his long journey into creative expression starting as a teenager through sharing his films around the world.

The students were fascinated by the short films he shared and the stories he told. Thanks Skizz for so generously sharing your time and works with us!

Photojournalist, author, neighbor and friend of the school, Jim Burger dropped by the school. Jim generously gave a copy of his most recently published book Long Journey Home to each of the students. The book displays Jim’s talent as a master storyteller in both photographs and writing. The students will read the book over the next few weeks and then jJm will come in for a Conversation about it.
We deeply appreciate Jim’s consistent willingness to support the students and school.
