Michigan Mentors is a summer program designed to enable students to delve into specialized topics of their interest. Through our program, we seek to break down the financial and academic barriers that prevent high school students from entering competitive careers such as medicine or computer science.

Our 1-2 month career workshops are completely free and will give students the chance to hear from professionals in their respective desired fields. Students will gain the necessary content and professional (resume building, interview prep, etc.) knowledge to enter the field at a collegiate level.

The Computer Science Michigan Mentors Program is designed to accommodate individuals with diverse backgrounds and interests. Whether you’re enthusiastic about technology, eager to delve into coding, or simply curious about the world of computer science, this program welcomes you.

After taking this class, students with no previous coding experience will be able to utilize basic programming concepts to solve complex, real-world problems. Students will start or continue developing a project resume by completing a final project in small groups. Additionally, students will gain an in-depth understanding of various professions in the field of Computer Science (industry, research, etc.).

The Center for Human-Computer Interaction + Design is excited to announce that we’ll be hosting our virtual Thought Leader Dialogue: AI and the Future of Work thisThursday, May 2nd from 4 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. CT.

With the explosion of AI platforms, what is the future of work? Will we need “humans in the loop”? Although these platforms are still in the early stages, implications are broadly significant. In this dialogue, we bring together researchers with distinct perspectives to discuss approaches for designing a desirable future of work for everyone. Tackling questions related to ethics, governance, and competition, this dialog will highlight the role of thoughtful design in achieving the vision of a desirable future of work for everyone.

Speakers:

  • Melissa Valentine, Associate Professor of Management Science & Engineering at Stanford
  • Rebecca Hinds, Head of The Work Innovation Lab at Asana
  • Brent Hecht, Partner Director of Applied Science at Microsoft, Northwestern PhD ‘12
  • Elizabeth Gerber, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Comm Studies and Design, Co-Director of the Center for Human-Computer Interaction + Design
