Join Code Your Dreams for an evening of learning, reflection, and connection during Cook County Digital Inclusion Week!
About this Event

Join us for an interactive evening where art, dialogue, and hands-on learning come together to uncover AI’s impact on our environment and communities — and to imagine a more just and inclusive digital future here in Chicago and beyond. No tech background is needed; just bring your curiosity.



Why Join?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our world, but the conversation about who benefits — and who bears the costs — must include all of us. This event is designed to spark awareness, deepen understanding, and foster dialogue so that our communities can play an active role in shaping a better digital future.



What to Expect

🌱 Interactive Art Installation & Lightning Talk: Experience a thought-provoking installation that highlights the environmental impacts of AI and invites you to reflect on the future we are creating here in Chicago. Hear a lightning talk from the incredible builders and designers behind the installation as well!

🧠 Hands-On Workshop: AI Ethics & Mindfulness: Dive into a guided workshop where participants will explore the ethical dimensions of AI and explore tools for building more responsible technology use.

🤝 Community Networking: Meet students, educators, technologists, and community leaders. Share ideas, spark collaborations, and interact with the art installation in meaningful ways over food and drinks.



Who Should Attend?
  • Community members curious about AI
  • Students & educators
  • Technologists, artists & activists
  • Anyone interested in equity, innovation, safety, and inclusion

Hosted at TeamWorking by TechNexus. Hosted by Code Your Dreams.
