AT THE WKU INNOVATION CAMPUS

Our first Wellness Social with MuuvWell was an incredible kickoff to a new way of connecting around health, energy, and innovation.

Attendees joined us for an engaging conversation with Kevin Winn, founder of MuuvWell, who shared how technology is reshaping the way we approach wellness both at work and in our daily lives. From data-driven health insights to building sustainable habits, the discussion sparked new ideas about how we can all move, think, and feel better.

We didn’t just talk about wellness we experienced it. Participants jumped into a beginner-friendly workout, enjoyed refreshing smoothies, and connected with others who value community, creativity, and well-being. It was energizing to see people & families of all fitness levels come together in such a positive, welcoming environment.

At CREATE, we believe wellness fuels innovation and this event was just the beginning.

Join us for the next Wellness Social on Tuesday, April 21st as we continue building momentum around tech-enabled wellness and community connection. You won’t want to miss what’s next!

PHYSICAL AI - LIVE

Where AI Takes Real-World Form

Where AI Enters the Real World

At Physical AI Live, we’re exploring that question in real time.

You are invited to a hands-on, working session focused on building and interacting with a real-time AI system that can see, hear, think, and act continuously in the same space as people. It’s not a lecture or a polished demo. It’s an active experiment in what AI looks like when it operates in the real world.

At the core of the experience is a live system that processes audio, interprets its environment, makes decisions, and physically responds—all in real time. Participants will have the opportunity to observe, contribute ideas, and engage directly with the build as it evolves.Open to all ages. LIMITED SPOTS!
