Hourglass

At Hourglass, our strength has always been keeping our sights set on local solutions to what are sometimes national and even global issues. This is why we are proud to present a robust conversation on AI in Lancaster County schools, and we’d love to see you there.

On May 7th, we will host Our Schools, Our Future: Navigating Artificial Intelligence Together. Our hope is that this conversation can demystify some of the ambiguity around artificial intelligence. While there is a lot we still don’t (and can’t) know about the future of AI, we can speak to tangible ways it is being embedded in Lancaster County schools, and we can do that through hearing from their leaders directly.

This is just a portion of the important community-driven information that has fueled the launch of the Lancaster Chamber’s new tool, Land in Lancaster. As Lancaster County faces unique challenges in the coming years with an aging workforce, stagnant population growth and an out-migration of talent, who has the solutions? This may be one of them.

Last Friday we heard from Molly Crouser and Maya Fenner about how the Lancaster Chamber is working to provide solutions to these unique challenges

At the Hourglass, our mission is to provide reliable, relevant information to our community as it pertains to our lives here in Lancaster.

For our May forum, we hosted three educators: Charlie Reisinger, Stacey Irwin, and Robert Spicer. Our speakers helped us tackle a big question: how are students in Lancaster County learning about media literacy?

A video of this forum will be available on YouTube and our website today. Thank you to our speakers and our engaged and thoughtful audience for your contributions!
