TATTOOS?? DURING A SECKC MEETING?!
You heard that right!! We will have tattoo artists doing LIVE TATTOOS during the meeting (reserve your spot here https://orders.seckc.org/ SPOTS ARE FILLED!!).
DON’T WANT A TATTOO/WANT TO SUPPORT A GREAT LOCAL KC CHARITY AND SEE SYSAARON GET HIS A$$ TATTOOED WITH DICKBUTT?
No, I swear, you actually DID hear that right. We are raising money for Hope House, a local non-profit focused on breaking the cycle of domestic violence. If we raise $5,000, @sysaaron will get a dickbutt tattoo on his rearend AND we even get to pick which cheek!! Whichever cheek hits $2,500 first will determine which side of his a$$ his future doctors will shake their heads at the most for the rest of his life. We just gotta be sure to reach the goal for both the left cheek and right cheek donation options. THE RIGHT CHEEK WON!! GOALS HAVE BEEN MET. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL WHO DONATED! WANT TO DONATE MORE?

7ish TALKS - TITLES & DESCRIPTIONS!!
Computer Science Education Starts with Community - Gabby Kelsch Bledsoe
Access to computer science education in high schools has expanded significantly, but access alone does not guarantee meaningful learning experiences or clear pathways into technology careers. After transitioning from my own technology career into teaching, I saw firsthand how disconnected students can be from real technical career pathways and how little support many educators have in building those opportunities. This session explores the current state of high school CS education, the gap between classroom learning and industry expectations, what I’ve learned rebuilding a CS department, and practical ways local professionals can help support teachers, inspire students, and strengthen the next generation of technology talent.
Grokking - How AI Learns to Learn - Patrick Ecord
We'll demystify how neural networks work — what they see, how they learn, and what's really going on under the hood. Then we'll look at a phenomenon called "grokking," where a tiny model trained on simple math suddenly went from memorizing answers to inventing its own geometric solution using trigonometry nobody taught it.
How to Create and Analyze a Forensic Image - Travis Conner
I will take you through using FTK Imager -- free, professional-grade forensic imaging software -- and how to create a forensic image of your own PC. I will then show you how to be your own detective by using free and open-source forensic analysis tools to interpret artifacts and craft a narrative about what your PC activity is saying about you!
