Happy 2022 everyone!

There was a most inquisitive audience in attendance at the State Library of South Australia.
I was one of four keynote speakers during the STEM Ignition Series that formed a panel to discuss science fiction to science fact.
Do the two intertwine and meet?
Are they contradictory?
STEM focuses on one or more of the four disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and math. In an era when technical and scientific skills are increasingly important in the workforce, exposing children to STEM learning in the early years is the key.
I spoke about Artificial Languages, Universal Language Translators, and Computer-Assisted Language Learning.
With restrictions easing, I look forward to my next series of keynotes in the new year!
