## From Last Week

Everything is [here](/8Bqcq1JHQrKUBvi0BbKzBA) but these are some highlights with action items that carry over to this week (including things to write up before we forget):
- **Bok Center Space Meeting:** need to take a shot or two of the annotated map and then build a web app or presentation (connectable to NELC course? and what can we show of the map?)
- **GenEd 1196** editing complete, but we need to work on automations while it is fresh in our minds (and as we prep for SCRB)
- **TDM196ss:** just a PERFECT station that will work well for storytelling. Beginning with "AI 90% are cool with" (Logic Pro ML-driven stem creation) to "AI 90% oppose" (ChatGPT lyrics based on course readings) and then on to in-person-brick-and-mortar experience = whole-class karaoke. MK must write up.
- **AI and Translation** session was where we did the fullest implementation of the hackathon day apps, getting from web-app capture to working code. Write a good report and then augment for Humanities 350 visit, second Mahindra seminar and the November 19 paper workshop. Also should note that this workshop activity really resonates with developers as demonstrated in the HUIT Hackathon readout.

- [**Hackathon Readout**](https://hackmd.io/@bok-ai-lab/HJ-x7Jby-g/%2FboRZRkVpTY6xz27PuexTcQ) & determining next steps for each app
- **Halloween Experimental Workshop** (more of an internal hackathon in the end). Bok of the Dead, Sora 2 experimentation, etc.
