Transform into an AI stick figure using a special camera, let a story unravel with interesting prompts, and experiment with the fun, and also practical, uses for AI.

Meet scientists from Northumbria and Newcastle universities who are working in the North East to develop, monitor, and utilise AI tools, and learn how AI affects everyday life .

Spotlight on series

At Life, we regularly invite scientists and STEM professionals from universities and other organisations to meet and talk with visitors

It’s a chance for our visitors to ask questions, learn about what different scientists do on a day-to-day basis, how they got into their chosen field, and maybe even help them with their research.

For scientists and STEM professionals, it’s a chance to engage the public with their work, spread knowledge and awareness and perhaps gather some data.

If you’re a scientist or STEM professional, and interested in getting involved, ask a member of the Life team for details when you’re here, or email info@life.org.uk
