The Christa McAuliffe Center invites multigenerational audiences to a series of conversations that will explore key formative moments in the life of Christa McAuliffe; examine the historical context of the 1986 Challenger mission; and reflect on the lessons learned from the tragedy.

In our open discussion of the Challenger, we will highlight influencing factors that impacted the ethical decision-making process, including engineering codes of ethics, communication styles, and organizational cultures. We will use these factors to encourage the audience to explore how these decisions are made today and how the increasing integration of AI into engineering contexts will affect ethical decision making. 

Speakers: Jennifer Braggin, Sr. Lecturer, The Gordon Institute, Tufts University;
Amy Hirschfeld, Distinguished Sr. Lecturer, The Gordon Institute, Tufts University
