Using generative AI to strengthen and speed learning

Thursday 27 June

In this lecture, Dr Barbara Oakley, creator of the popular 'Learning How to Learn' MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) and a leading expert on the neuroscience of learning, will explore how understanding the brain's learning processes can help learners effectively leverage generative AI to enhance skill acquisition and drive innovation. Dr Oakley will present research from neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and pedagogy, providing practical strategies for organisations – and learners – to optimize their use of generative AI in training and development.

Alice's Day at Oxford Botanic Garden

Saturday 6 July

See the Walled Garden transformed into a magical Wonderland as the Mad Hatter and March Hare return for the annual celebrations of Alice's Day. Join WhatNot Theatre for a fizzing new adventure and take a tumbling down the rabbit hole to find our absurd Hatter and Hare still sipping tea and swapping seats. Encounter other curious creatures including the grinning Cheshire Cat, the furious Queen of Hearts, a nervous White Rabbit, a ridiculous Dodo and a questionable Lobster. Take a blanket, a picnic (Hatter particularly enjoys jam sandwiches) and your curiosity.

Curious Adventures in Nature Smartphone Workshop

Saturday 6 July

Multi-disciplinary contemporary artist Graham Fudger will explain how to use your smartphone camera to capture and manipulate exquisite images of nature that explore colour, texture and light. The workshop will begin with a session in the Museum of Natural History where Graham will outline his approach to finding aesthetic value in nature. Participants can then explore University Parks, taking photos of their surroundings, including an opportunity to learn how to use time-lapse and plant identifier apps. The workshop will conclude back at the Museum.
