Little Lectures for an Odd World

MashUp Events

MashUp events are a vibrant series of lectures that delve into themes related to our digital future. Each event features two short, engaging presentations on topics that have nothing to do with one another. Then, in a question and answer session, audience members are invited to ask questions that connect the two, uncovering the myriad ways in which our lives intersect with the digital realm.

Season 3 – Coming Soon!

New Season

Back by popular demand, Season 3 of our MashUp events will begin in February 2025. The theme for the new season is Boom and Bust, under which we will explore the cyclical nature of innovation, progress, and challenges at the intersection of technology and human experience. This season will be brought to you by the College of Innovation + Design, and the College of Engineering’s School of Computing, in partnership with In Time Tec. We are looking forward to hosting you, and bringing this series back to everyone on campus and in our community. Stay tuned for event info including dates and locations.
