Exploring the intersections of Humanities, Entertainment, Art, and Technology, HEAT connects cultural and global studies with interactive, immersive and AI-related design tools, encouraging new collaborative engagements across our campus. Funded by the Illinois Global Institute, the HEAT initiative fosters the expressive use of emerging technologies, with attention to ethics and accessibility in the design of creative works and throughout their development. You’re invited to an exciting afternoon filled with engaging presentations, networking opportunities, and a design challenge! Refreshments will be provided.
