Saturday's Lightbulb Moments at @victoriagallery.bsky.social was a hit! Families explored AI through Erin's "Puzzled by Large Language Modelling" stand. Great chats about DynAIRx and @m-ricresearch.bsky.social. @livuniengagehls.bsky.social. @livunichil.bsky.social #LightbulbMoments #Engagement #PPIE
A display booth for DynAIRx featuring a large banner with a circular infographic describing AI tools for clinical decision-making. On the table are laminated sheets titled “DynAIRx is a Puzzle” and “HOW LLMs Work,” alongside puzzle pieces, comic-style illustrations, and brochures. A woman seated at a table between banners for MRIC and DynAIRx. The table includes visual aids like puzzle pieces labeled “Data,” “AI,” “Clinical,” and “Patient,” plus colourful jigsaw puzzles and informational materials. The setting is bright and welcoming, designed for public engagement.
