Ellen Yi-Luen Do, professor of computer science with the ATLAS Institute, participated in the Ada Lovelace Week's academic panel with a talk entitled, "From Electronic Cocktail Napkin to Creative Technology and Design." Do's academia panel with Marshini Chetty, assistant professor of computer science at the University of Chicago, focused on the impact and trajectory of scholars in the field of human computer interaction. The event was hosted by University of Chicago's Human Computer Integration Lab from Oct. 13-16.

A-rising (pun intended) during the pandemic, Ferment is an artisanal sourdough bread company in Boulder co-founded by Andre Gruber, a senior in Creative Technology and Design, with Rafaelo Infante, an advertising major. The two ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder undergraduates are passionate about the art of fermentation and baking, and providing Boulder with delicious, sustainable food.

Chris Hill is an ATLAS PhD student and a member of the Craft Technology Lab, directed by Ann Eisenberg, senior research associate in the institute of cognitive science. He works on the NSF-sponsored "Debugging by Design" project, of which Eisenberg is Principal Investigator and ATLAS Director Mark Gross is co-PI.

This project aims to engage under-represented undergraduate students in the Living Matter Lab's research through a series of online workshops and hands-on sessions, as well as guides participants through finding good graduate programs and the application process.

Laura Devendorf, an assistant professor of information science with the ATLAS Institute, is a keynote speaker in the ACADIA 2020 virtual panel, "A Conversation on Culture & Access," on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 4:15-5:45 p.m. EST. The panel brings together designers and scholars whose work deals critically with questions of computation, craft and public engagement.

Codependent Algorithms, code-based artwork by Joel Swanson, ATLAS assistant professor, is on exhibition for the 26th International Symposium on Electronic Art. Themed "Why Sentience?," the hybrid online/on-site program features works adapted to the virtual platform, with more than 100 local and international artists.

CTD instructor, Kevin Hoth's, large-scale, instant film mosaics are being featured in a solo exhibition at the Boulder Creative Collective. The exhibit, "Immortal Chromatic" runs Oct. 9-21, 2020 in the AKA Gallery. Advanced scheduling is required to view the exhibit.

HyunJoo Oh, assistant professor at Georgia Tech and ATLAS alumna, spoke on the panel, "Remembering Mike Eisenberg," at 2020 FabLearn - 9th Annual Conference on Maker Education. Eisenberg was a ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder professor of computer science and one of Oh's dissertation advisors. He passed away on March 12, 2019.

Laura Devendorf, assistant professor of information science with the ATLAS Institute, gave a keynote speech at 2020 FabLearn - 9th Annual Conference on Maker Education. Her research questions the role of design and making in the wake of increasingly pressing global challenges. FabLearn's international community of educators, researchers and policy makers are committed to integrating the principles of constructionist learning, or “making" into formal and informal K-12 education.
