Title: 2020 ICAT Creativity + Innovation Day
The Institute For Creativity, Arts, and Technology presents their 8th  
Annual ICAT Creativity and Innovation Day on Monday, May 4, 2020 in an  
online immersive experience from the comfort of your own home.

Explore the inventive work being created by Virginia Tech faculty and  
students. This year the event will include two webinars, virtual tours of  
spaces on campus that support creativity and innovation, and projects  
submitted by Virginia Tech faculty and students. Join discussions with some  
of the nation’s leading innovators from places like Microsoft Research,  
Nokia Bell Labs and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratories during ICAT Creativity  
+ Innovation Day.

The day includes two synchronous Zoom conversations with some of the  
nation’s leading innovators. The keynote speaker session begins at 1:00 pm  
and features Microsoft Research Principal Research Designer and  
self-described fusionist Asta Roseway, who will share her transdisciplinary  
journey as a co-founder of Microsoft’s artist-in-residence program.

A conversation with creativity and innovation thought leaders begins at  
2:00 pm. Moderated by ICAT senior fellow Lisa McNair, the panel features  
Roseway, along with Patty Bartlett, retired associate provost, Smithsonian;  
Ben Congleton, Silicon Valley CEO, Olark; Scott Davidoff, human interfaces  
manager, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratories; Andrew Kim, manager, Steelcase  
Workspace Futures Group; and Domhnaill Hernon, vice president, Innovation,  
Strategy, Creativity, Research and Development, Nokia Bell Labs. The  
panelists will share thoughts about ICAT Creativity + Innovation Day  
projects that intrigue them and discuss the intellectual, intuitive,  
economic, creative and ethical forces that are shaping the future.

Online visitors can experience “Benthos 360” and dive into the Clinch River  
with researchers as they document the conservation of Appalachia’s  
endangered freshwater mussels—one of the most imperiled animals on the  
planet.

“ICAT: Open (at the) Source” gives users the opportunity to explore a  
virtual world filled with innovative ICAT projects. Navigate the virtual  
gallery and interact with other users in an online environment created  
using Mozilla Hubs, an open source resource that can be accessed by a web  
browser. The exhibition features four projects.
