Welcome to Innovation in the 'Burg, a podcast all about science and innovation in St. Petersburg. This week, host Alison Barlow, executive director of the St. Pete Innovation District, brings two professors from St. Petersburg College and University of South Florida, St. Petersburg together to talk innovations in STEM education.
Professors Chad Mairn and Dr. David Rosengrant wax poetic on how technologies like 3D printing, virtual reality and augmented reality are helping students learn math, physics, and biology in new ways. They share thoughts on the future of STEM (hint: It's a lot like Magic School Bus!) and the most influential minds in science and technology.
The University of South Florida (USF) has announced its intention to create a college focused on the rapidly evolving fields of artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity and computing, with the goal of positioning the Tampa Bay region and state of Florida as a national leader. USF is the first university in Florida and among the first in the nation to announce plans to create a college dedicated to AI and cybersecurity.
