[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]We were exposed to the creative mind and work of artist Craig Haupt in this week's art seminar. Mr. Haupt has many talents as an artist, photographer, writer and producer of YouTube videos. The students were enthralled by his whimsical drawings and each were given one of his works. Using his many years as an art educator, Mr. Haupt also had the students work on creating a work of their own using thumbnail sketches. This was another terrific session in this art series curated by Cheryl Fair. Our thanks to both Craig and Cheryl![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]Dr. Al Scott, researcher and professor of molecular biology and immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health came in for a Conversation with the students. Dr. Scott has been a frequent visitor to the school over many years and is always a favorite of the students. It was an open session where the students asked many questions about topics as varied as career to emerging diseases and treatments to the impact of changes in public policy on vaccinations. It was a lively discussion only limited by time so students are looking for a part 2 soon. Thank you Dr. Scott for your always generous sharing of time with us![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]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.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
