Oliver Buechse is the co-Founder and Executive Director of Advancing AI Wisconsin. In this role he has championed a community-based effort to increase awareness of digital disruption in Wisconsin and build educational programming for business audiences.
We increasingly read about today’s newest technologies (Artificial intelligence, blockchain, machine learning, virtual reality, autonomous vehicles). But living in Wisconsin, we often ask the following questions:
• What are these technologies?
• Isn’t this technology 5 years away?
• Aren’t the companies and industries using this technology just in New York, Chicago, or Silicon Valley?
• How can I get skills in Northeast Wisconsin to be involved with these technologies?
Oliver Buechse, co-Founder and Executive Director of Advancing AI Wisconsin, will present at Moraine Park Technical College on Tuesday, April 30th at 4:00pm.
Campus Location: 235 N National Avenue, Fond du Lac, WI. The event will be held in room A109 (Cafeteria). Get Campus and Visitor Information here.
Register for this free event at the NEW IT Alliance Events page. Refreshments will be provided.
The TechTalk series hopes to reach colleges and universities across Northeast Wisconsin allowing both students and community members to learn about technologies, careers, and educational opportunities.

On May 1, 2018, Fond du Lac Boys and Girls Club kids in grades 5-11 were excited to meet and learn with Moraine Park IT Network Specialist student Phil Conley!
Phil was excited to showcase desktop computer building for Club kids. He said, “it’s really fun to see the kids excited about building computers and how all the wires and cables work. Hopefully I helped them learn and explore what a great career field IT can be!”
Fond du Lac Boys and Girls Club Director of Teen Services Dillon Wiese said, “Our teens had the fun opportunity to take apart and rebuild 2 computers with Mr. Phil from Moraine Park. What a fun, interactive learning experience for all those who participated! Thank you Moraine Park for this great stretch of Dream Big presentations! They were enjoyed by all and I can’t say thank you enough for the opportunities you’ve provided our teens with. I’m hoping this is something we can attempt every school year! Your clubs were all tremendous and thank you again to the students and instructors for taking time out of their schedules to help educate our youth.”
The idea for “Dream Big and Have Fun” began with the Moraine Park Technical College District Student Government President/IT Club Vice President, Phil Conley. Phil was passionate about helping kids after volunteering with the IT Club internet safety project at Boys and Girls Club last year. He had an awesome brainstorm to reach out to all the Moraine Park Clubs through Student Senate and make a plan for each one to visit the Boys & Girls Club to share some learning and fun from their programs/careers. Clubs will be featured all throughout the months of March and April. This is a great opportunity for Moraine Park students to earn service learning hours and for Fond du Lac Boys and Girls Club members to get excited about future career choices!
