SUMMARY:Washington Fruit & Produce Co. Smart Orchard
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce that we are continuing the legacy with the upcoming 2023 Smart Orchard Project Field Day\, organized by innov8.ag\, WTFRC\, & WSU\, which will take place on August 2nd\, 2023 at 3124 N. County Line\, Grandview\, WA. This event is an opportunity for farmers and agricultural professionals to learn about the latest technologies and data-driven approaches to orchard management. \nThe Smart Orchard Project is a cutting-edge farming solution that incorporates sensors\, drones\, tractors\, autonomous vehicles\, and machine learning algorithms to optimize crop yields and reduce waste. By providing farmers with real-time data on environmental factors like soil moisture\, temperature\, and humidity\, the Smart Orchard Project can predict the ideal timing for irrigation\, fertilization\, and pest control\, maximizing crop yields while minimizing waste and reducing costs. \nAt the 2023 Field Day\, attendees will have the opportunity to see 2023 Project Outcomes in action and learn from experts in the field. The event will feature live demonstrations of the technology\, as well as presentations from industry leaders on best practices for orchard management. \nThis event is a must-attend for farmers looking to increase efficiency and profitability while reducing their environmental footprint. You can register for the 2023 Smart Orchard Project Field Day by visiting \nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to learn about the latest technologies and data-driven approaches to orchard management. We look forward to seeing you at the 2023 Smart Orchard Project Field Day! \nRegister at: 2023 Smart Orchard Field Day \nMore information about the project can be found here \n#Research #SmartOrchard #Irrigation #ChemicalThinning  #IntelligentSprayControlSystem

SUMMARY:AI Expo 2023 - Unveiling the AI Frontier: Your Passport to Three Hours of FREE Community AI Education!
DESCRIPTION:WENATCHEE\, WA – The 2023 AI Expo\, hosted collaboratively by the NCW Tech Alliance\, North Central ESD\, and the Apple STEM Network\, will be held on Thursday\, August 17\, from 12:30 – 5:00 pm at the Wenatchee Convention Center. This year marks a significant milestone as the AI EXPO transitions from an online event to an in-person format for the first time. The AI Expo is included in the NCESD STEM Summit\, running from August 15-17 at the Wenatchee Convention Center. \nThanks to the generosity of Microsoft\, the AI Expo is open to the business community and general public to attend for free. This eagerly awaited event will provide an inclusive platform for individuals from all walks of life to plug into the fascinating universe of Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, which is rapidly gaining ground in North Central Washington and beyond. \nThe core objective of this year’s AI Expo sessions is to foster an environment of connection and exploration\, focusing on the profound impact of AI on education\, workforce development\, and everyday life within rural communities. Featuring an engaging lineup of speakers and discussions\, participants will be immersed in community conversations aimed at addressing the myriad questions that arise in the context of AI integration. Speakers include: \nBen Bardsley\, BX: Ben is a driven and dynamic tech entrepreneur with extensive leadership and management experience. Ben started his career as an Officer in the British Army. He spent 5 years in the Welsh Guards Infantry regiment deploying to Afghanistan in 2012. After leaving the Army in 2013 Ben joined his family fruit farm as the 5th generation. He went on to transform his 130-year family fruit farming business Bardsley England\, growing it by 1400% over 8 years to become the UK second largest apple producer and then delivered a successful exit for his family in 2021. Whilst he was a fruit farmer\, it was clear to Ben that the food system was broken and needed transforming. This is where BX was born. Ben transitioned from being a farmer to a tech entrepreneur and is now building a climate tech platform that can support farmers in their environmental journey using data\, AI\, and FX exchanges to enable this transition. \n  \n\n\n\n\nJolenta Coleman-Bush\, Microsoft: Jolenta leads the Education & Workforce Development portfolio for Microsoft Philanthropies in Washington State. Prior to joining Microsoft\, Jolenta was a leader in the public and nonprofit sector developing\, implementing\, and advocating for student-centered policies and practices to eliminate opportunity gaps. Jolenta has held roles at the City of Seattle’s Department of Education and Early Learning\, Rainier Scholars—a pipeline college access program\, and the League of Education Voters. Jolenta is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she studied Child Development and Family Studies and has a master’s degree in Education Policy from the University of Washington. \nDr. Paola Pesantez-Cabrera\, AgAID Institute: Paola is a Research Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Washington State University. She is also the data manager/scientist for the AgAID Institute – AI for Transforming Workforce and Decision Support in Agriculture and the Washington Soil Health Initiative (WaSHI). Her research focuses on the development of data-driven decision support tools through the application of FAIR data principles and the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning with a direct impact on agriculture and its environmental and economic sustainability. She is an avid advocate of accessible education\, the generation of knowledge\, respect for diversity and the visualization and engagement of Latin American women in STEM\, which is why she is also a member of SACNAS\, Women in Analytics\, and the Association of Data Scientists. \nDr. Shannon Thissen\, Capital Region ESD 113: As the Regional Administrator for Educational Technology and Computer Science\, she works to develop student success in academics by supporting the implementation of district-approved curricula and school improvement plans. This includes documenting teaching and student progress\, activities\, and outcomes; developing lesson plans; modeling successful teaching strategies; and providing feedback to staff and administration regarding improvement plan progress\, plan modification\, AI communications\, and impact of professional development activities with a continued focus on Educational Technology and Computer Science Integration in-person\, in-districts\, or remotely. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEduardo Castillo\, Director General at Centro de Inteligencia Artificial – IA Center: A renowned technology enthusiast and innovator with an impressive 30-year career in the field of information technology and communications.
