Illinois Global Institute Event

Faculty, staff, and graduate students are welcome to attend the launch of HEAT, a new initiative connecting cultural and global studies with interactive, immersive, and AI-related design tools that encourage critical and collaborative engagement.

HEAT stands for Humanities, Entertainment, Arts, and Technology and is intended to foster the expressive use of emerging technologies with attention to ethics and accessibility in the design of creative works. The event will take place in 182 Armory (4-6pm) and will feature presentations, networking opportunities, and a design challenge. Refreshments provided. Registration is preferred by October 17.

Please note: An alternative lunchtime session will be held on Friday, Oct 25th, from 12-1pm in Room 313, Library & Information Science Building (501 E Daniel). Questions? heat-ed@illinois.edu
