AI Futures

Today was an awesome day at Emerging Manufacturing Collaboration Center (EMC2)! High schoolers in Indiana put the AI ground vehicle challenge to the test and did an AMAZING job taking the robots through the crawl, walk, run method. In addition to the challenge, students had the opportunity to interact with members from Indiana University Bloomington, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Defense Civilian Training Corps (DCTC), ARI (Applied Research Institute), The Boys and Girls Club of Indianapolis, Mantel Technologies, and the DoD Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office! They were also treated to a presentation and walk through with the Indy Autonomous Challenge! Thanks to our supporters and for Isabel Casillas Guzman for stopping by to learn about our event! #AIGVC #AIFutures #SBA #DoDOpportunities Angela Cough // Radha Iyengar Plumb // Karen DaPonte Thornton // Bonnie Evangelista // Michael Simpson // Emily D.

On National Intern Day, we want to recognize our own at AI Futures! Ethan Chung and Alexander Nistor have been a great asset to the team - they’ve lead AI robotic challenges, mentored fellow students, and got their feet wet in different efforts like marketing! We can’t wait to see what their future holds and they’ll be missed when they start the next school year at The Ohio State University! #NationalInternDay #AIFutures #MantelTechnologies Angela Cough // Radha Iyengar Plumb  // Karen DaPonte Thornton // Bonnie Evangelista //  Michael Simpson // Emily D.
