Monthly Movies and Tea

On the last Friday of every month, our Researchers and Operations Team, along with members of the Centre for Electronics Frontiers, get together for half an hour to watch and discuss a film clip or short film that depicts applications of AI and electronics. This monthly exercise was developed to work on team relationships, as well as to discuss societal perceptions and ideas of AI. Discussing this topic will help spark ideas for our courses and educational resources aiming to create a more accurate understanding of what AI is and its potential applications.
