SHE BLEW OUR MINDS!

Okay.. That was AMAZING! We had such an amazing seminar with Dr. Martinez, who explained in such detail her education (so much dedication), her work, her research, and more! She offered some great life wisdom, too. It was a very interactive seminar, with questions being answered and flourishing conversation. 

Dr. Martinez is an absolute icon- her joy and love for her hard work is absolutely inspiring. Role models like her really shape our lives!

January Meeting Updates and Pictures!

 We had an AMAZING meeting with Ms.Eva Mungai and Ms.Tribhi Kathuria!  They really took us through a comprehensive and fun tour of robotics, and it really gave us a unique perspective! We learned many new things that I didn't before (especially the three stages: sensing, reasoning, and acting). 
Their overall message about robotics being a field for everyone of all backgrounds, how it can be an option irrespective of your undergraduate background (they shared their own experiences), and persistence was very inspiring.

Check out some pictures below!

We had an awesome seminar with Dr.Schalliol and got to discuss his work in sociology. It was eye-opening, and he told his about his projects regarding buildings as symbols of change in various places. He also told us about his film, "The Area", a documentary film about a South Side Chicago neighborhood being demolished to make way for an intermodal freight yard. He also explained his job as a professor. 
All in all, sociology is fascinating!
