SUMMARY:The Ship We Built: A Discussion with Lexie Bean and Noah Grigni (ages 9-adult) [VIRTUAL—BY RSVP]
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an interactive book talk on The Ship We Built with author Lexie Bean and illustrator Noah Grigni.  \nfor ages 9-Adult \nPlease join us for an interactive book talk on The Ship We Built with author Lexie Bean and illustrator Noah Grigni. We’ll talk about the creative process\, and how identity shaped the story\, as well as how the author and illustrator worked together to find artwork to fit the story. Lexie will read a passage from The Ship We Built\, and Noah will share several of the sketches used in the book\, then following a discussion moderated by Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager Celeste\, we will move into a Q&A with the audience. Both Lexie and Noah identify as queer and trans\, and The Ship We Built\, which received starred reviews from Kirkus and Booklist\, is the first middle grade book from a major American publisher centering a trans boy and written by one. The text deals with themes of isolation\, faith\, gender and sexuality\, abuse\, addiction\, incarceration\, and imagination as a tool for survival. This event is sure to interest young readers\, aspiring writers\, activists\, and artists of all ages. You can check out the book from our collections. \nAbout Lexie: Lexie Bean is a queer and trans multi-media artist from the Midwest USA whose work revolves around themes of bodies\, homes\, cyclical violence\, and LGBTQIA+ identity. They are a member of the RAINN National Leadership Council and are Lambda Literary Finalist for their anthology Written on the Body\, centering trans survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault. The Ship We Built is their debut novel\, which began with a text message dare from a crush in 2014. It has also taken the form of an animated short\, and soon a feature-length script. Like Rowan\, Lexie has a deep resonance with water and letter writing\, and is also a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.\n\n  \n\nAbout Noah: Noah Grigni is a children’s book illustrator and trans activist from Atlanta\, Georgia. Influenced by queer futurism\, magical realism\, dreams\, and the subconscious\, Noah uses art to imagine a radically inclusive future and uplift voices fighting for change. Their art ranges from vibrant watercolor illustrations\, to meticulous anatomical drawings\, to promotional graphics for activist groups. Noah is the illustrator of It Feels Good To Be Yourself by Theresa Thorn\, The Every Body Book by Rachel Simon\, The Ship We Built by Lexie Bean\, and The Gender Identity Workbook For Kids by Kelly Storck. Last year\, The American Library in Paris hosted Noah’s first-ever book signing event! Noah is excited to return to the library virtually for this discussion.\n\n  \n\nThis event is free and open to the public (ages 9-Adult). This event will be hosted virtually via Zoom. Registered participants will be sent a link to join the event. Advance registration is required (register HERE).  \n  \nSend an email to Celeste\, our Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager\, with questions about events and collections for ages 0-18: celeste@americanlibraryinparis.org. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Ethics in AI with Elena Sinel (ages 12-18) [VIRTUAL—RSVP REQUIRED]
DESCRIPTION:For ages 12-18 \n\n  \n\nAs robots become ever more present in our daily lives\, questions of how to control and modify their behavior come up more often. Join us for an interactive discussion on ethics in AI with Elena Sinel\, founder of Teens in AI\n \n  \nTeens ages 12-18 are invited for a presentation on ethics in Artificial Intelligence with Elena Sinel\, followed by a Q&A. As robots become ever more present in our daily lives\, questions of how to control their behavior naturally come up. Artificial intelligence carries with it a whole host of issues that force us to think about our own morality and ethics. In books and films\, AI is often portrayed by malevolent robots or programs who decide to eradicate humans. These stories are fiction\, but\, can we guarantee that machines won’t reach the same decisions? How do we protect access to AI from bad actors? Who benefits from AI? Think about these issues and more as we explore ethics in AI with Elena\, the founder of Teens in AI. Teens in AI is an organization which gives young people exposure to AI and tech for good through hackathons. You can find out more about Teens in AI in this BBC video. \nAbout Elena: Elena Sinel is a multi-award-winning social entrepreneur on a mission to inspire young people across the world into Artificial Intelligence for Impact. She launched Teens in AI at the UN AI For Good Global Summit with the mission to create pipelines for underrepresented talent\, thereby improving diversity and inclusion in Artificial Intelligence. It offers young people aged 12-18 early exposure to AI for social good through a combination of expert mentoring\, talks\, workshops in AI/ML\, human-centered design and ethics\, hackathons\, accelerators\, company tours and networking opportunities. The vision is for AI to be developed by a diverse group of thinkers and doers advancing AI for humanity’s benefit. Elena’s latest appointment as a member of the Education Task Force at All Parliamentary Group in Artificial Intelligence gives her an opportunity to influence British policy in respect of AI skills in education. Prior to this\, Elena worked as international specialist consultant with nine years of experience in poverty reduction strategies\, rural livelihood development and poverty alleviation with a specific focus on creation of small and medium enterprise development\, product design\, marketing and fundraising in Central Asia\, the Balkans\, Ethiopia and Bangladesh. \n  \n\n\nThis event is free and open to Library members ages 12-18 and will be hosted virtually via Zoom. Advance registration is required (sign-up HERE). Registered participants will be sent a link to join the event via email.\n \nSend an email to Celeste\, our Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager\, with questions about events and collections for children and teens: celeste@americanlibraryinparis.org. \n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n
