Artificial Intelligence or Artificial Idiocy?
Join Dr Karl as he connects the dots between the tech booms of yesterday – from the family car to the first home computers – and today’s mind-bending AI explosion.

The themes of the Education Showcase this year focused on coming together to celebrate and highlight innovation in teaching and education delivery. Several leading science educators gave short talks on their varied education delivery platforms, providing interesting insights into timely teaching themes.
A full list of speakers, their presentations and session recordings can be found on the intranet.
