Let's Photobomb with Amazon Web Services and Cloud Computing!
In this workshop, we will implement a proof-of-concept service with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Serverless services. We will be making a photo-bombing squirrel service using AWS Lambda. In our service, we’ll input a photo. Then, a squirrel will photo-bomb the image, stealing the focus of the image, thereby making the actual subject of the image blurred. We will walk through how to leverage AWS “serverless” infrastructure to create a fast and infinitely scalable web service. You will get to configure AWS to stand up your very own service in the cloud using Lambda and S3. You will also get the opportunity to glimpse into the underbelly of Cloud services and get your hands (a little) dirty. No prior cloud experience is required. Arrive with your internet-enabled laptop and personal AWS account to get the most out of this workshop.
Creating Microservices for Cloud-Native Deployments
Microservices? Cloud? Cloud-Native Development? We hear them often and they are everywhere in the industry these days. What are they? What’s the deal with them? What are they for and why should you care? If you are interested or simply curious about any of these, come and join us. In this session, we will attempt to demystify and offer you a practitioner’s perspective on what they are and why they matter.
We will also show you how you can easily build your first Java microservice using Eclipse MicroProfile and Open Liberty, an open programming model and an open source application server for microservices.
Engineering in Biotechnology - A Look Inside Mass Spectrometry Technology
In this workshop, participants will learn about the fundamentals of Mass Spectrometry, and how the quantitative and qualitative analyses contribute to real-world applications.
Come to experience the physical hardware as well as take in a practical simulation using the latest Sciex software. Whether you have experience in MS or this is your first exposure, there is something for you in this workshop!
Building(s) for a Sustainable Future
Climate Change has been cited as the greatest challenge facing humanity, and it continues to threaten the only place we can call home. Part of the puzzle is the role of the built environment. This workshop will explore the impact of the built environment on our climate, review examples with respect to buildings, showcase sample promising technologies, and discuss roles required in the development and delivery of solutions. Are you up to the challenge?
Drilling the Limit - Technology that is Advancing the Energy Industry
Interested in learning about the energy industry? How does natural gas actually come out of the ground so that it can be turned on like a tap at your house?
Being at the forefront of new technology is what it’s like being a drilling and completions engineer. Come learn about how drilling has pushed the limits in order to achieve 7,000m long wells, how to coordinate 50+ people on a completions site, and how to remain competitive in a fast-paced environment.
Digitizing Construction – BIM Builds Better
The construction industry is notoriously slow to embrace change and technological advancement. However, the new wave of technologically-savvy university graduates are changing the way we build.
This workshop will explore how Building Information Modelling (BIM) is aiding the Canadian construction industry, which areas we need to improve on and how you can help drive the change that the industry still requires.
