Local youth recently conducted a series of interviews with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) professionals in our community about their careers. This new video series will be released by the St. Pete Innovation District in conjunction with the St. Pete Catalyst beginning in September. Special thank you to LaShante Keys, the M.A.S.T.R. Kids Program, Rahman Johnson, and Sandra (our photographer) for making this possible.
Join us on our next tour of the Innovation District! Our tour will begin at the HUB, and we will board a trolley with other Innovation District partners. As we travel throughout the District, you will learn about the fascinating history and exciting future plans for the area. We will make several stops for a unique insider view of the research and collaborations underway. Participants are invited to enjoy a networking happy hour back at the HUB, where our tour will conclude.
The graduation of the CodeBoxx AI Literacy and Applications Bootcamp was held on Saturday, August 9th at the ARK Innovation Center. The celebration included a tour of the ARK building, a sneak peek at the Vu Studio, and a hackathon. This bootcamp is designed to give participants a competitive edge in the job market by teaching practical ways to use AI. AI literacy and tech communication are more important than ever, and we're incredibly proud of this graduating class for taking that step forward.
