Cognitive Think Tank: Human Centered Systems

What is the goal?

Cognitive think tank is group that is committed to reflecting, reframing, and revealing.

• Reflect on current practices and methodologies for designing human machine teams (AI systems.)
• Reframe the ways in which we think about designing systems. Shifting perspectives from technology first to human first Design.
• Reveal models of what makes work hard and how people/users actually think and how technology can enhance work.

How will we accomplish it?

Cognitive Think Tank hosts free monthly meet up groups where we have time to engage with the larger tech community about relevant issues and challenges. We come together to share techniques and ways of thinking that can help software teams keep up with a rapidly evolving technology landscape.

Why does it matter?
Our Mission is to get people thinking, share diverse perspectives, generate rich discussion in our community about the tools and techniques we are all using, and make connections with like minded professionals!

Who should attend?
Anyone who is an advocate for A human centered approach to software Design and development
this can include but is not limited to:

• UXUI designers
• Software engineers
• Machine Learning Engineers
• Human Factors Engineers
• Cognitive Engineers
• Students

We welcome anyone who cares about the challenges we are currently experiencing in software teams who are responsible for designing and building systems that support humans in meaningful ways, especially those that require advanced forms of technology
