In the second episode of Why Not Change the World? The RPI Podcast, a health-care data expert and a biomedical engineer discuss how data analysis can be used to tackle today’s biggest health challenges.
The Engineering Innovation for Society (EIS) student design competition at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute aspires to enable that type of novel innovation by inviting undergraduate students from colleges and universities across the Northeast to the Troy campus for a “hackathon” of sorts focused on engineering design and development.
All students, faculty, staff, and other campus constituents are strongly encouraged to verify and update their contact information in the RPI Alert system.
Hack RPI will hold a November 2-3 hackathon event aimed at welcoming experienced coders and neophytes alike. The hackathon will draw 400 students for a 24-hour session devoted to natural disaster mitigation, artificial intelligence, and accessibility and education.
On the inaugural episode of Why Not Change the World? The RPI Podcast, an artificial intelligence expert and an accomplished musician consider how humans could and should responsibly deploy new technologies like AI.
