Ashley Ambrose starred collegiately at Mississippi Valley State from 1988-1992 and was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the second round (29th pick overall) of the 1992 NFL draft. He would go on to become a 13-year veteran in the league, playing four seasons with the Colts (1992-95), three with Cincinnati (1996-98), three with New Orleans (1999, 2003-04) and three with Atlanta (2000-02).
Ambrose earned his degree in Industrial Technology in 1992 from MVSU, where he lettered four years at cornerback. He had 17 interceptions, 40 pass deflections and 110 tackles during his college career, when he also had seven kick returns for touchdowns (four punt, three kickoff). He has long been active in community service, as he developed the “Ashley Ambrose All-A’s Club” that rewarded high school students and athletes who excelled academically.
Ambrose earned All-Pro honors with the Bengals in 1996, when he was also the AFC Defensive Back of the Year. During his career, he had 42 interceptions, returning three for touchdowns, and also had 178 pass deflections to go with 514 tackles (464 solo). When the NFL started tracking the career pass deflections stat in 1994, he had 173 of his overall total in the final 168 games of his career, with that average of 1.03 per game ranking him fourth overall in the NFL between 1994 and 2009, and just one of eight players to average one or more per game.
He also participated in VH-1’s Save the Music program and in the NFL United Way Hometown Huddles Campaign among many things he did as a professional, which included donating hundreds of tickets to scholar-athletes. He's currently still working in the community as a Student Engagement Advocate in Dropout Prevention for the largest District in the Denver area. His job is to help our youth and African American students in K-12 to stay in school and help them continue to further their education for a better future. Ambrose is a native of New Orleans, Louisiana but resides in Golden, Colorado and is married to Melanie Ambrose and they have 4 kids. Aisha, AJ, Konner and Briella.
Can you solve a Rubik's cube? If yes, come race us! If not, we'll teach you how to get started. Then we'll collaborate to build a Rubik's cube portrait. In this session, you'll get hands on with solving cubes and learn about how you can use computer programming to solve everyday problems.
Step into the GIS-verse and discover the wonderful world where maps are more than just tools—they're gateways to solving real-world problems and uncovering hidden stories. This session will introduce you to the "superpower" of GIS (Geographic Information Systems).
Learn how to create your own interactive maps, explore how GIS heroes tackle challenges like climate change and urban planning, and discover how YOU can shape the future with the power of geography and technology. Unleash your inner map-maker and become a true GIS Avenger in this fun and hands-on adventure!
In this interactive lab, we'll explore the arts of token theft and Adversary in The Middle attacks and how these modern attacks get around basic protective measures (like multifactor authentication). Understanding these attacks is a key to understanding how to defend against modern and advanced adversaries, you'll see both the red and blue side of these attacks and understand how we empower people to protect themselves from it.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Data Science (DS), are HOT, HOT, HOT! How does an enterprising student begin getting into this exiting area!
I'll be demonstrating my Python code using an IDE called "PyCharm." Students with a Jeffco student email account can register for free IDE downloads (link https://www.jetbrains.com/community/education/#students/) from the PyCharm developer company - JetBrains. These free IDE downloads include PyCharm, and some other popular IDEs such as Intelli-J. Else, they can download the PyCharm Community Edition (CE) (link https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/?section=windows) for free. If students are utilizing the second option (e.g., PyCharm CE), they have to scroll down the page to see the CE download button. The first option is the professional edition, for which they must purchase a license.
Link to the book I'll be using in the ML class: Jake VanderPlas - Python Data Science Handbook. (link https://jakevdp.github.io/PythonDataScienceHandbook/) This is a free book that you can use to go along with what I'll be talking about.
