Swag 2 School proposes opening the Baldwin Hills Technology Center to address the digital divide and lack of STEM education opportunities in local communities. The Center will offer tutoring, tele-learning, and interactive STEM projects for K-12 students to improve math skills and expose them to STEM careers. It will be located in a 3,850 square foot facility near public transit. The organization seeks $500,000 in initial funding and partnerships with local schools, universities, companies and government agencies to support the Center and its goal of increasing the number of educated minorities entering STEM fields.
Hard Times: College Majors, Unemployment and EarningsCEW Georgetown
In the past, a college degree all but assured job seekers employment and high earnings, but today, what you make depends on what you take. In Hard Times 2013, we show differences in unemployment and earnings based on major for BA and graduate degree holders. We show that STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics — majors typically offer the best opportunities for employment and earnings, while unemployment is higher for graduates with non-technical degrees.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

5. Why a technology center?
A digital divide is an economic inequality between
groups in terms of access to, use of, or knowledge
of information and communication technologies. Black
and Latino groups combined account for 23 percent of
the U.S. population between the ages of 22 and 75,
but they are only 6 percent of practicing engineers.
The more frequently a student has access to S.T.E.M.
education, the more opportunities they have to gain
skills that can lead to careers in Math & Science
related fields. The Baldwin Hills Technology Center will
produce a more educated minority workforce.
6. Why a technology center?
The Bureau of Labor & Statistics project that the fastest growing
careers will be S.T.E.M. related.

7. Why a technology center?
Main Goals
• Decrease the technological
divide in the proposed
community
• Establish a space of
S.T.E.M. research and
learning for the community
• Provide stakeholders and
the community
opportunities to connect in
a positive setting
Initial Objectives
• Build partnerships with
neighboring
universities, high
schools, community
orgs, and corporations
• Create assessment test for
technology center student
participants
• Create S.T.E.M. programs
& curriculum for 6th – 12th
graders
8. Economic indicators
• The technological center is to
have a direct impact on the
surrounding community which
includes the following zip codes
90016, 90018, 90008, 90043,
90301, 90302, 90305, 90056.
• There are approximate 250,000
people that live in this area.
• 58% of that population is black
and 38% is Latino.
• Economic indicators signal that
unemployment rates and
residents living below the
poverty level in this area are
above the US Average.

fallen below average with only 4% of high school
students operating at the required math and science
proficiency level as compared to 43% for LAUSD as
a whole.
• Swag 2 School would like create sustainable
tutoring modules and applied S.T.E.M. projects for
students.
11. Technology Center Youth
Programs

interactive S.T.E.M. projects to increase student
math skills and knowledge of S.T.E.M. application.
• Partner with local universities to create programming
and obtain volunteers.
• Construct programs for students that have difficulty
with math and for students that are advanced.
