1) MEETING WITH THE INNOVATION LAB AT ST PETE COLLEGE; JUNE 14, 2024 AT 11AM

Chad Mairn is an Information Services Librarian, Assistant Professor, and founder of the Innovation Lab at St. Petersburg College. While an undergraduate studying Humanities at the University of South Florida (USF), Chad was awarded a Library of Congress Fellowship helping archive personal papers and other items in the Leonard Bernstein Collection. During his Library and Information Science graduate work, also at USF, Chad became a technology liaison between the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Florida public libraries.

The Innovation Lab (iLab) is a collaborative learning environment, oftentimes referred to as a “technology playground”, where people of all ages and with similar interests in science, technology, engineering, digital arts, and math can meet, socialize and/or collaborate while sharing ideas and learning new skills. The iLab provides emerging technologies (e.g., Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Brain-Computer Interfaces, 3D design/printing, 360-degree imagery etc.) to show what is possible now and into the future. There are no judgments, no grades, and it is encouraged to color outside the lines.
