The Latest & Greatest from LaunchNET Kent State
As the legendary Smash Mouth once said: well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'

As a first grading running laps in the gym to this song, I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics. I was more focused on not having an asthma attack while also not being the slowest one in the room.

As a third grader watching Shrek for the first time, I still didn't pay attention to the lyrics. That green ogre was simply too captivating and my sense of vision took over my sense of hearing.

As a an adult however, with a fully developed frontal lobe, I finally listened. Not only do the years start comin' and they don't stop comin' but so do the days. It's September 4th.

Highlights for the week: Cleveland conference opportunity sponsored by us, student grants for your business, the workshops have begun, and cool events on and off campus 🦦

Session 1 is "A Duet with A.I." and looks at the productive tension/friction between the artist/designer and the AI agent through a creative dialogue/process, much similar to a ballet dancer embracing gravity or a sculptor taming a medium.

Followed by a hands-on workshop to implement what you learned!
