The Hariri Institute is excited to host student poster sessions and presentations for five courses this semester: Data Mechanics, Mobile App Development, Machine Learning, Data Science and Spark! Ventures.<\/p>\n
The Institute\u2019s research profile provides broader impact by enabling researchers to test and implement new ideas while offering exclusive experiential learning opportunities to BU students. As part of its support of these experiential learning courses, the Institute hosts poster sessions in which students present their final group projects. Through these experiential learning opportunities, students are able to apply classroom learning\u00a0to real-world challenges and gain exposure to potential employers. These events are open to the public and attendees from the local computer science and tech community are invited and encouraged to attend.\u00a0Poster sessions provides unique\u00a0opportunities to meet with over\u00a0two hundred students interested in topics ranging from data science, to machine learning, to software development.<\/p>\n
