Why This Topic Matters:
Tech jargon can feel like a secret language that keeps people on the outside looking in. Demystifying these terms builds confidence and helps everyone engage more meaningfully with the digital world around them.
About the Speaker:
Alice is a researcher specialising in Human-Computer Interaction and digital equity. With a background spanning software development, educational technology, and a PhD in Gender Diversity in Digital Innovation, she brings a knack for making complex technical concepts accessible and engaging.
What the Session Covers:
A jargon-busting journey through computer science terminology, from everyday acronyms like API and LLM to more specialist terms. No prior knowledge required. Just curiosity.
Key Takeaways:
- Confidence to decode tech speak in news articles, job descriptions, and everyday conversations
- A clearer understanding of how different technologies connect and why they matter
- Permission to ask "what does that actually mean?" without feeling like an outsider
