Technology and beekeeping might seem like an unlikely pairing, but the “Save the Bees” movement has inspired a surge of tech innovation in the hive. In this session, we'll take a look at the gadgets and technologies gaining traction in the beekeeping world. I'll also talk about my own personal journey developing an app using AI not to disrupt tradition, but to support it. This talk is for anyone interested in the tension between tradition and innovation, and how we can design technology that honors the communities it’s meant to serve.
I'm a beekeeper, engineer, and now app developer. I ran a beekeeping business for about five years, producing honey and raising queen bees locally to promote and sell regional stock. I've served on the board of the Minnesota Hobby Beekeepers Association and spent a summer assisting research at the University of Minnesota Bee Lab. I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering, though my career path has been anything but linear. Beyond beekeeping, I've worked as a sterilization technician at 3M, an exhibit fabricator at the Science Museum of Minnesota, and a stay-at-home dad.
This will add your name to the list of interested participants. It will help us gauge interest for scheduling purposes.
