Temple University will host the Interactive AI Fair on Feb. 25–26, 2025, at our main campus in Philadelphia. The Fair will take place in our innovative Charles Library and will feature guest speakers, student presentations, and a range of interactive exhibits designed to give participants the opportunity to interact with different forms and applications of AI.
The Fair will feature a selection of presentations, tutorials, and interactive exhibits—like a cross between a science fair and an art gallery. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with a variety of different AI programs and applications curated by Temple faculty and graduate students. The exhibits will be structured so that participants with varying levels of experience with AI can leverage their unique research skills and experiences and/or add new skills to their repertoires. For example, participants will have the opportunity to create AI-generated images, music, and videos; take a test run of Google’s Alphafold protein-folding program; interact with a robot as it navigates a crowded space; and design your own chatbot.
Fair participants will be asked to submit feedback about their experiences, which will help the Fair organizers better understand how users perceive their interactions with different forms and aspects of AI. These findings will help the organizing team plan future events.
