The Engineering Navigator is a prototype AI-powered platform that connects students, families, and educators to engineering opportunities across the U.S. To show the power of this tool, we're focusing on North Carolina, where we're mapping local events and programs to show what's possible when communities are connected.

AI & the Brain: As We Embrace AI, Let's Not Forget Our Minds
Across homes, offices, and classrooms, AI is becoming ubiquitous--mapping our routes, writing our code, even dreaming up art in seconds. What once sounded like science fiction is now silently transforming our daily existence. And yet, amid this great digital leap forward, a quieter, more fragile system is at stake: the human brain. We are perched at a precipice in history. As AI systems grow in power and presence, we must ask a question too few dare to voice: What is this doing to us - our capacity to explore, to learn, to reason, and to create? The machines are learning. But are we forgetting?

MCC on Tap Presents "Why Music Is More Than Sound"
Music engages us in culturally and psychologically powerful ways, leading us to reflect on our lives and those around us, as well as activating regions of our brain responsible for emotion, memory, movement, and reward all at once. In this talk, Evin Rodkey (Anthropology Instructor) and April Shirey (Registrar) discuss how music can provide with opportunities to interpret aspects of culture more closely and how it triggers dopamine releases making listening to it pleasurable or motivating, strengthens neural connections, supports learning, and can even help regulate stress by calming the nervous system. Doors to lecture space open at 5:30 PM.
