On Thursday, 10/30, WISDOM held its second annual college student networking event at the Da Vinci Science Center. 🧪 We couldn't be prouder of the students who came and presented at our event! We heard fascinating student projects ranging from pollinators in the US National Parks to comparisons on machine learning on quantum and classical systems. Not only did we all learn something, but the networking session was a great opportunity for students to connect with industry professionals. ☺️

In addition, we had Jagriti Dawar and Pepper from RobotLAB Inc open the event, and Dr. Petra Frese gave our keynote presentation. It was an uplifting and motivational day! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who came out, including our gracious sponsors who made the event possible!
