UCOT LAB A: I Love Algorithms
Whether you're a coder, or you're not sure the difference between machine learning and artificial intelligence, this is a workshop for you. We believe that every person needs to be part of shaping, using, and working with emerging technology. And no, you don’t need to know anything about code.
This d.school workshop will explore the intersection of machine learning + design in a lower resolution and experiential way. We'll practice different ways of understanding the implications of this technology in the world. Together we’ll learn by doing.

UCOT LAB C: Exploring the impact of sexual myths, fairytales and technology on our sexuality
Growing up, most of us learned how sex and sexuality is supposed to look from our family, schools, churches, media and technology. In this workshop, we will explore the limitations of those messages, as well as the sometimes negative impacts of technology on our relationship with our bodies. Through group conversation and embodied experiments, we will debunk some of the myths we have been taught, and increase our understanding of our own individual physical nature.
Led by: Pam Costa, Founder Down To There

UCOT LAB D: The new spread of inequality through The Digital Divide
From the Future of Work and Education to Data Illiteracy: In an increasingly complex and evolving global landscape, our collective future narrative has been one of uncertainty. And with uncertainty can come fear for security. With exponential technologies, new languages are being developed that can isolate populations from each other while increasing inequality, phenomena known as Data Illiteracy and the Digital Divide. This interactive workshop will lead attendees through introspective exercises that explore the psychological, cultural, and geographical implications surrounding the Future of Work and Education and the cultural and professional implications of Data Illiteracy.

Time travel from the redwoods in Scotts Valley to the 18th century Appalachia through live singing and story telling. This workshop invites you into a deeper understanding of our current reality through the exploration of our collective roots.
