MiraCosta College Events

This is a regular business meeting of the board of trustees.

AI Study Lab is your creative dojo for mastering the tools, theories, and emerging frontiers of Artificial Intelligence—with a focus on people, purpose, and possibility. Whether you're fine-tuning prompts, exploring ethical design, or building something meaningful with peers, this is your launchpad. It’s where curious minds grow together, sharpening both technical skill and human insight—one neural net (and one deep question) at a time.

AI Discovery Lab is a collaborative space for students, faculty, and staff to explore the promise and impact of Artificial Intelligence—together. Rooted in a human-centered ethos, the Lab invites all disciplines to engage with AI through hands-on learning, creative experiments, and meaningful dialogue. Whether you're curious, cautious, or coding, this is where the MiraCosta community comes to discover what AI can be with us, not just for us.

Disrupted Pathology // Joshua Almond

Through his wooden sculptures, studio furniture, and drawings, Joshua Almond examines cellular processes where normal patterns break down, exploring the visual poetry found in these moments of biological disruption. These profound transformations reveal tensions between order and chaos, growth and decay. Each piece investigates how dysfunction possesses its own beauty and logic, transforming microscopic phenomena into human-scaled encounters. The inclusion of functional furniture alongside sculptural works creates a further dialogue between utility and organic inspiration. Rather than clinical illustration, the works in this exhibition provoke a re-examination of the multitude of cells collectively responsible for our own unique shape, and the moments of crisis when life's programming encounters beautiful errors and necessary failures.

Aug 27 – Oct 9 (Closed September 1)
Reception: Wednesday, September 3 // 2-4 p.m.

Artist Talk: Wednesday, September 3 // 2:30 p.m.

ClubIT is MiraCosta’s tech playground where students explore the cutting edge of AI, cybersecurity, and hardware hacking—often with snacks. Whether you're leveling up for National Cyber League competitions, building your dream rig, or connecting with guest speakers from industry, there's always something hands-on and high-energy going on. It’s the perfect launchpad for job-seeking technologists to learn, build, and network with fellow future rockstars.
