No way… TWO lab visits in ONE WEEK? 😲

Join us THIS FRIDAY on a tour to the Assistive Agent Behavior & Learning Lab (AABL). 😊

The lab’s goal is to make robots more useful through designing algorithms that allow for human-robot interaction (HRI) and evaluating them through performing real-world tasks. 🤖

Some of the projects the labs work centers around include creating robots that integrate seamlessly within crowds of people, that learn after deployment, and are able to interact and support a diverse range of users. 🖥️

Come join us this FRIDAY (APRIL 24th) from 3-4PM at JCC 472 to learn more about the PROJECTS and OPPORTUNITIES offered to STUDENTS ! 📚

Wowowow look at all the opportunities we have available ! ⭐

That’s right, WiCS is offering YOU a visit to one of the coolest AI/ML labs on campus — the GOLD Lab. 😲

The GOLD lab stands for Goal Optimization using Learning and Decision-making, and is a part of the CS department here at Tufts. The lab works on developing algorithms allowing virtual agents & robots to integrate with humans to perform various tasks ! 🤖

Some examples of the cool projects that they’re working on include creating agents to act as teachers for motor skill acquisition, creating ML models to recognize hidden objects from images, and developing models that output answers alongside a confidence level for that answer. 💻

Come join us THURSDAY (APRIL 23rd) from 4-5PM at JCC 478 to learn more about the kind of work that the lab does alongside potential OPPORTUNITIES for STUDENTS to join and contribute ! 👩🏻‍💻

It’s sure been a loooooong month, but you know the drill, here’s a recap of March! 🍀

March 3rd: We had our WiCS x Akamai Resume Review & Info session where we learned a lot more about what kind of work software engineers at the company do, alongside insider tips of what recruiters and engineers are looking for during screenings + technical rounds! A lot of us even had our resume reviewed personally by recruiters/engineers! 📝

March 9th: We had the opportunity to have representatives from Figure.ai showing us the cool AI technologies that’re being worked on at the company alongside LOADS of internship opportunities for students! 🤖

March 26th: We had our FIRST site visit of the year at Dynatrace where a lot of our members had the opportunity to sit in on the day-to-days of engineers at the company and ask insightful questions about the cyber security company! 💭

If you didn’t have a chance to make it to any of our AWESOME events, no worries as we still have a couple more events left for the year 😎

That’s right, we’ll be having TWO site visits in ONE week to help you get employed 😎
