Critical Thinking in our Hyper-Technological World

We live in a world that is technological through and through, filled to the brim. We can communicate instantly with anyone anywhere, we can fly above the clouds, we can do things that not too long ago were in the realm of science fiction, we have AIs at our fingertips that can provide us with answers and do work on our behalf.

However, our brain has remained the same as it was a hundred thousand years ago, built for surviving in the African savanna, now flooded with global information and decision making 24/7. Now, more than ever, we need to train and sharpen our skills for critical thinking, the mechanism for objectively analyzing the world around us and discovering where the evidence truly leads us. This allows us to maintain agency and not become influenced by ill-willing actors

Design and Test with AI assistance

We'll explore together how AI can enhance two essential phases of the development process: UX design and testing.

In the first part, we'll focus on how AI can support designers as a creative partner: accelerating ideation, generating concepts, and helping teams explore multiple directions quickly until confident decisions are made.

In the second part, we'll shift to testing, where AI becomes a powerful assistant: helping us validate that we're building the right product and ensuring it meets functional requirements through faster, smarter feedback

Don't Fear Git: Understanding Git One Commit at a Time

Git is an essential tool for every developer, but concepts like branches, merges, rebases, and merge conflicts can often feel confusing.

In this beginner-friendly session, we'll use Git and visual examples to explore how commits, branches, merges, and rebases work. Through live demonstrations and practical scenarios, you'll learn the concepts behind the commands and gain the confidence to use Git in your projects, assignments, and future internships.

From Explainable AI to Explainable Software

Explainable AI asks whether we can understand and trust the decisions made by complex systems. Starting from this idea, we'll explore what separates software that continues to evolve in a fast-changing world from software that slowly dies under the weight of its own complexity, and why this distinction matters even more as AI makes code generation faster than ever.

NixOS for Cybersecurity

This specialized course introduces cybersecurity students to NixOS as a powerful platform for building secure, reproducible computing environments.

Students will explore NixOS's unique declarative configuration system and how its immutable infrastructure approach enhances security posture through atomic upgrades, easy rollbacks, and elimination of configuration drift.

The course covers practical implementation of security-focused NixOS configurations including hardened system profiles, network isolation, service sandboxing, and automated security updates.

Through hands-on labs, students will learn to leverage Nix's reproducible builds for creating consistent security testing environments, implementing zero-trust architectures, and developing portable security configurations that can be version-controlled and deployed across multiple systems for penetration testing, incident response, and secure development workflows.

Stop Talking to Chatbots. Start Deploying Agents

The world has moved on from "write me an email." AI agents now book meetings, run code, browse the web, and chain decisions together autonomously. This session breaks down how modern AI agents actually work — tool use, memory, context management, and multi-agent orchestration — and where the line between useful and dangerous starts to blur. Expect real examples, live demos, and an honest look at what's production-ready today versus what's still hype.
