The Cybertruck
The Cybertruck represents significant technological advances, featuring innovations like steer-by-wire technology, adaptive air suspension, and a powerful electric drivetrain that showcases the potential future of automotive engineering. But the truck has also sparked a wide range of social and cultural critiques. Some argue that, while an electric vehicle, the energy required for its production along with its size undermine its environmental benefits. Others have described it as an elitist military-style vehicle designed to protect the wealthy from inevitable urban warfare and societal collapse. Still others see the hostility and controversy surrounding the Cybertruck simply as an extension of the polarized feelings about Elon Musk himself.<br />
<br />
Topics for discussion during this conversation might include: Does the Cybertruck represent a bold futuristic design that demonstrates Musk's unique ability to take a concept directly from cyberpunk video games and bring it to life? Or is it an impractical, excessively masculine design that overreaches and should embarrass its owners? Or is it just a truck? How do the public's polarized views of the Cybertruck reflect wider attitudes toward technological innovation and the influence of tech leaders like Elon Musk on popular culture?

Intro to 3D Modeling with Blender
Learn the basics of 3D Modeling with Blender, including a brief look at the history and context of the practice. Attendees will get to meet other polymaths, receive a short demonstration, and start practicing their modeling skills with a guided challenge.<br />
<br />
Used everywhere from engineering, graphic design, game development, heritage conservation, and film, 3D modeling is a powerful and versatile tool in the digital landscape. Blender is a free and open source tool that has gained significant support and traction in recent years, now even competing with industry-standard tools like Maya and 3ds Max. <br />
<br />
Join us at the Ahmanson Lab for a hands-on workshop that will welcome students of all backgrounds.<br />
