Emerging Tech and Interdisciplinary Workshops
Ongoing · Dynamic Schedule | Gruber Sandbox
A series of interdisciplinary educational initiatives, public discussions, and hands-on workshops centered on artificial intelligence, advanced computational systems, and scientific collaboration are hosted within the Gruber Sandbox, a multidisciplinary collaboration space housed within the Wimberly Library and jointly managed by the Schmidt College of Science and University Libraries. These activities serve as a vital translational hub on campus, connecting students, researchers, and the community to explore how emerging technologies—including the intersection of machine learning and quantum concepts—can be applied to solve complex societal challenges. The emerging tech and workshop activities are frequently hosted by the Machine Perception and Cognitive Robotics Laboratory (MPCR) that is a key partner within the Gruber Sandbox.
