About this event
Join us on 8 November for an evening workshop that will explore the dark side of digital, data and AI. You’ll use your creativity and critical thinking to work in teams to identify problems and create solutions that solve some of the negative consequences of digital, data and AI – no technical skills are required!
Director of the Data Science Institute at Imperial, Professor Mark Kennedy and some of our Enterprise Lab startup founders will help contextualise the challenge, and you’ll work with Hattie Willis, former Associate Principal of Rainmaking Venture Studio, founder of GuessWorks, and experienced facilitator. She’ll guide you through the process of generating, choosing and finally pitching your idea. You’ll see first-hand how innovation and entrepreneurship work together. And as an extra incentive, we’ll be awarding prizes for the best idea and best pitch.
