July 8, 2025 Speaker: Ted Kahn https://baychi.org/calendar/20250708/ Creativity may be the highest form of human learning, which integrates both what we know and enables us to explore what we don't know. Digital technologies have been interactive tools and collaborative and communications platforms to augment human learning, as well as creative thinking for over 50 years. Dr. Kahn will explore a number of different kinds of creative activity mediated by digital technologies, as well as the socially situated nature of creating as learning, both individually and collaboratively. He will document the central role that young people have played in the development of these technologies, especially since the birth of personal computers and video games, all the way to virtual on-line communities, augmented reality, smart mobile phones. and AI.
