On June 16–17, members of Erguvan Art & Academy joined a 2-day summer workshop for high school students at UC Davis, organized by the NW AI Hub in collaboration with the Northwest Hub, CITRIS Inspire, and BE-STEM. The program was designed to bridge the worlds of technology, innovation, and creativity—giving students a chance to explore advanced scientific fields in an engaging and interdisciplinary environment.
The first day began with a warm welcome by Professor Saif Islam, Chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. After an icebreaker led by Miranda and Farhad, students were grouped into teams and tasked with building the tallest possible spaghetti tower.
Next, Leyla gave a presentation titled “The Intersection of Art, Science, and Technology.” The session touched on STEM vs. STEAM, famous scientists and their creative sides, the contributions of artists to scientific discovery, color theory, traditional painting, and its relevance in digital image-making today, AI, Golden Ratio, and more!
After lunch, the group visited the California Raptor Center, where they were introduced to the birds in the center and how bird flight patterns inspired aviation design.
The day concluded with a printmaking workshop. Students created etched designs on styrofoam plates using hand-operated tools—a hands-on process that mirrors early chip fabrication techniques.
The second day opened again with Prof. Saif Islam, who presented on the world of nanotechnology and quantum phenomena. The morning continued with a lineup of more cutting-edge topics:
The workshop closed with a certificate ceremony that celebrated the time, thought, and effort students put into expanding their understanding of complex topics.
