Show Notes
- - Host: Dan Hugo
- - Guest: Dr Kitty Yeung
- - Summary: The intersection of STEM and Creativity is sometimes called STEAM but is there more to it than that? Probably. Fashion and Technology are where people integrate science and technology into daily life, let us discuss!
- - Produced with Ennuicastr at https://ecastr.com for free, as the Innovate for Vegas Foundation is a public charity AND a fellow developer and supporter of Open Source, Thanks Ennuicastr!
Who is Kitty Yeung?

- - Photonics, Plasmonics, Quantum, oh my!
- - Art and Science, the same or different?
Fashion Tech
- - Wearables have been a focus of many for a long time, when will we get there?
- - Does a focus on Fashion (the term) pique interest?
- - What are the downsides to literally wrapping ourselves in technology?
Inclusion, Diversity, and “STEAM”
- - More participation means more ideas and innovation, are we enabling this?
- - Should we re-define what it means to be a “Full Stack Developer?”
- - Does adding an “A” to “STEM” make a difference?
Hacking and Making
- - Are more people joining in for sprint-style ideation and innovation? Young people?
- - What is your favorite Hackathon scheme? (Sponsored, prizes, free project vs theme/focus, stay awake, etc etc)
- - Are virtual/remote hackathons still encouraging hacking and making, or are we missing out on the social factor?
