SUMMARY:Agrivoltaics: Farming Food and Energy Together
DESCRIPTION:Agrivoltaics pioneer Rose Olivas (Pitzer College + CalPoly Pomona) is bringing an innovative approach to sustainable farming in SoCal\, helping produce agricultural and solar energy on the same land. Learn more about this technology and mingle with fellow innovators over food and drinks following this engaging talk. Co-sponsored by Innovate Claremont. \nRSVP Recommended – Click here to register! \nFrom being conceptualized in 1981\, to adoption by Japan in 2004\, and a gateway of research in France in 2013\, Agrivoltaics\, has become recognized and utilized globally. However\, this dual-use system of producing both agricultural and solar energy at the same time and on the same land space hasn’t quite hit the sunshine state\, California. Operations in other countries and in other United States’ regions have demonstrated that growing agriculture (animals\, crops\, nurseries\, or a combination) under the shade of panels has increased the soil health\, water retention and conservation\, extended crop season\, and created a safer environment for farm workers\, all while generating and using free solar power. This system joins more than solar energy and agriculture industries. This is a niche which can also create jobs for electricians\, construction\, and engineering. So\, where is California with the adoption of Agrivoltaics\, and how can it move forward to reap the benefits? \nRose Cesena Olivas is a native Bay Area resident and SoCal transplant since 1992. She carries a bachelor’s degree in microbiology and chemistry and worked in medical research at the benchtop level and laboratory management and training at UCSD\, Children’s Hospital\, Los Angeles\, and USC\, working in the fields of Diabetic Neuropathy\, Multiple Sclerosis\, and neonatal gastroenterology. She transitioned to medical/biologics sales\, mostly in the space of pediatric vaccines and then colon cancer screening. She received her master’s in agriculture in 2022\, studying healthy soils\, fecal coliforms\, and animal-sourced soil amendments. She served both Riverside and San Bernardino counties as a Community Lead Specialist for the UC system’s Agriculture and Natural Resources Division in the Small-Scale Farms program. She now leads the first research study in agrivoltaics in Southern California\, in collaboration with Cal Poly Pomona’s College of Agriculture\, as well as a statewide monthly discussion on agrivoltaics with folks from all backgrounds interested in this dual-use land system for agriculture and solar production.

SUMMARY:Research With Not For: Participatory Design Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a more bottom-up approach to uncovering findings in your design research? Participatory Design is all about engaging people to actively participate in the design process. Join Asha Srikantiah (Kounkuey Design Initiative) in this methods-based workshop to practice identifying research objectives\, marrying it with interactive engagement\, and capturing your findings to deepen your understanding for design. \nRSVP Required – Click here to register! \n\nAsha is passionate about building new initiatives that address real human problems and is excited by spaces where design\, strategy and storytelling meet. Her love for stories led her to start her career in film and media\, with roles in creative development at Viacom\, New Line Cinema and JWT. She then pivoted her focus to use creative problem-solving for meaningful social impact. At Fidelity Labs\, she led the development and implementation of the Student Debt Relief Program to increase financial equity for borrowers through financial literacy\, employer-sponsored benefit systems\, and legislative advocacy. Most recently\, Asha was Director of Strategy at the Hive\, a creativity and design center at the Claremont Colleges\, and still teaches undergraduate classes in Human-Centered Design at Harvey Mudd College. Asha currently serves as the Managing Director of Strategy and Staff at KDI’s Los Angeles office. She has a bachelor’s degree in Film and Television from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications\, and an MBA from University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management.

SUMMARY:From Startup Idea to Prototype
DESCRIPTION:Build a startup idea fast: pitch a problem\, form a team\, define your MVP\, assign roles\, sprint to prototype\, and demo your solution with peer feedback. A high-energy session focused on action\, storytelling\, and using LLMs to bring ideas to life. Bring your laptops and start designing! Led by entrepreneur and Pomona alum\, Vadim Axelrod. \nRSVP Required – Click here to register! \n\nVadim Axelrod is a Pomona College alumnus\, serial entrepreneur\, and technology leader with more than 30 years of experience building startups. After Pomona\, he earned an M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University. He has co-founded multiple venture-backed startups\, helped grow Rentals.com (acquired by Primedia)\, and held leadership roles at companies including Lark Health and Ellipsis Health. Today\, he primarily builds AI startups while also advising founders on product strategy\, engineering\, and ux. When he’s not building products\, you’ll often find him playing ultimate frisbee. He is excited to return to Pomona to help students discover how quickly today’s AI tools can transform a great idea into a working prototype.
