| Active Bystander Training (2 hrs.) | You are minding your own business in a store or on a bus. You see someone bullying a person who looks as if he/she is not capable of handling the situation. What do you do? In a time when people are quick to express anger and more likely to be angry at people “not like them”, many of us are seeking tools to respond effectively to such biased anger. This highly interactive training will give you tools and insights to use in such situations and a chance to think about how you might use them. We present information, share experiences, and strategize bystander responses to a variety of situations. Participants will learn about roles we all play, what discourages us from acting when we see harm doing, how to move through this resistance, tools to use when we are ready, and basic principles to guide our actions.

| Unmasking the Hidden Biases in Selection & Usage of Hardware and Software (60 minutes) | We use technology – the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or, as it is sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment (OED) – to automate our work. To aid us in making decisions or even make decisions for us. To help us see things and do things that we ourselves cannot do because of lack of time, lack of knowledge, or lack of ability. Implemented as machines, hardware, and/or software, technology has evolved and shaped our world in many ways. Tools such as the internet and email for communications, word processing, spreadsheets and presentations for office productivity, electronic databases for record keeping, CNC Machines, robots, smartphones, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and artificial intelligence are ubiquitous in our lives. We tend to think that technology is objective, cold, and dispassionate. But it is not! Technology is built by humans. And we humans are all biased. So, bias is built into our technology. This has been proven by research performed by organizations such as the World Economic Forum, MIT, and others. This session will explore how to recognize bias in not only technology products but also how we use technology. Learning Objectives
