SUMMARY:Bread Making with Bethencourt Bakehouse
DESCRIPTION:Get an up-close look at the world of professional bread baking with Gonzalo Condes de Bethencourt of Bethencourt Bakehouse. This interactive\, live demonstration will include a discussion of fermentation theory before teaching you the techniques\, science\, and sensory cues behind crafting bakery-quality bread. \nGonzalo will demonstrate how to make artisan focaccia and classic country sourdough bread\, and attendees will get to see crust regeneration and finishing techniques on a selection of par-baked loaves. \nSelect volunteers will join Gonzalo at the workstation to feel gluten strength/dough extensibility\, practice a couple of coil folds\, and help with dimpling and oiling the focaccia pans. Every attendee will leave the class with an individual jar of active sourdough starter and a serving of fresh focaccia. \nBread Demonstrations: \n\nArtisan Focaccia (Full Process): Made live using a mature Biga pre-ferment and fresh yeast\, covering mixing\, folds\, proofing\, dimpling\, and baking. I’ll also bring my small tabletop grain mill so participants can see freshly milled flour in action and use it directly in the focaccia.\nClassic Country Sourdough (Cold-Proof to Bake): Brought in fully cold-fermented and baked live in a cast-iron Dutch oven to demonstrate how to get an artisan oven spring in a standard kitchen setup.\nPar-Baked Specialties: I’ll bring a couple of par-baked loaf options from my commercial deck ovens to finish live in the LexMedia oven so attendees can see crust regeneration and finishing techniques. I’ll confirm the exact varieties closer to the date based on what’s fresh.\n\n  \nClass menu:  \n\nFresh\, warm slices of focaccia and country sourdough\nCharcuterie\n\nThis class is BYOB – feel free to bring your favorite beer or bottle of wine\, especially if it would pair well with the class theme. \nIf for any reason a class needs to be cancelled\, we will do our best to reschedule the event to another date. Refunds will be given to those unable to make the new date\, and refunds will be given if a class is cancelled with no new date. \nPLEASE NOTE: this event takes place in the LexMedia kitchen studio and will be filmed.

SUMMARY:Cary Lecture Series: Thought Full: The Human Advantage in an AI World with Po-Shen Loh
DESCRIPTION:Po-Shen Loh – October 24\, 2026\, 8 p.m. \n \nIn a world where artificial intelligence can now complete many of the tasks once used to measure academic achievement\, Carnegie Mellon University professor\, social entrepreneur\, and educational innovator Po-Shen Loh invites families\, educators\, students\, and community leaders to consider a powerful question: What skills will matter most for the next generation? \nDrawing from his experiences speaking with families and educators in more than 100 cities each year\, teaching in classrooms\, and learning directly from students\, parents\, teachers\, and AI innovators\, Loh offers a hopeful vision for preparing young people not only to adapt to change\, but also to lead with purpose. Rather than focusing only on grades\, test scores\, or memorization\, Loh makes the case for nurturing the deeply human qualities technology cannot replace: critical thinking\, creativity\, communication\, courage\, leadership\, curiosity\, and the ability to solve unfamiliar problems. Through mathematics as a medium\, he shows how students can build confidence by thinking deeply\, sharing ideas boldly\, and approaching challenges with imagination rather than fear. At the heart of his work is the philosophy of being “thought+full”: thinking creatively and intentionally while also caring deeply for others. \nLoh will also share how this mission is coming to life through LIVE\, the learning ecosystem he founded in 2022. By blending STEM\, communication\, leadership\, and theater\, LIVE helps students grow academically and personally as they learn to communicate clearly\, lead independently\, mentor others\, and build meaningful connections across a growing national and global community. More than a conversation about AI\, this talk is a call to raise a “thought+full” generation: young people defined not only by what they know\, but also by how they think\, how they lead\, how they care for others\, and how they use their gifts to make a difference in the world around them. \n  \nAN ANNUAL SERIES OF FREE LECTURES IN LEXINGTON 2026-2027\nHosted by the Cary Lecture Committee: Monica Galizzi\, Rita Goldberg\, Meryl Loonin\, Kevin Oye\nCo-sponsored by Cary Library \nVisit carylectureseries.org for more details about our speakers and to sign up to receive reminders about our upcoming lectures.
