Big Data Hackathon

Ryerson University

IEEE Ryerson Student Chapter, IEEE Ryerson Computer Chapter and IEEE Woman In Engineering are proud to present our first Big Data Hackathon, in collaboration with the Clean Energy Zone. This hackathon will bring the state of art techniques to energy forecasting, bridge the academic research and industry practice, elevate data analytics in power engineering education, and engage the industry in smart grid energy forecasting challenges. The winner of this hackathon will get an exciting opportunity to work with the Clean Energy Zone to implement their solution in real life.

Canada’s Robotics Moment

Autodesk Technology Centre, 661 University Avenue, Suite 100, MaRS Discovery District

Join us for an in depth discussion on Canada’s place amidst global trends and opportunities in the robotics market. Canada has a unique opportunity to leverage its international reputation in AI (artificial intelligence) to tap into the fast-growing commercial robotics market. Canada invested early and wisely in AI, culminating in the recent explosion in investment, commercial activity and global recognition. Robotics is the next frontier for innovation and investment. The Canadarm delivered international profile for executing high-stakes feats of robotic ingenuity. That success has been repeated in field after field without similar recognition. It’s time to bring thought leaders and stakeholders together to shape a comprehensive national robotics strategy. Led by Andra Keay, Managing Director, Silicon Valley Robotics, speakers will explore the collaborations, supports and partnerships needed to establish Canada as a global player in the commercial robotics market. A panel from industry, government and academia will discuss Canada’s strengths and how to capitalize on them to build a vibrant robotics industry. Speakers include: Andra Keay, Managing Director, Silicon Valley Robotics Dr. Molly Schoichet, OC, OOnt, Chief Scientist, Ontario Hallie Siegel, Innovation Strategist Dr. Farzad Rayegani, Dean of Applied Technology, Humber College Dr. William Melek, Director of Mechatronics Engineering, University of Waterloo Day & Time: Thursday, February 8, 2018 2:30 p.m. ‐ 5:30 p.m. Location: Autodesk Technology Centre 661 University Avenue, Suite 100, MaRS Discovery District Contact: Maryam Davoudpour Organizer: WIE IEEE Toronto, Instrumentation-Measurement/Robotics-Automation RVSP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/canadas-robotics-moment-tickets-42391575343?aff=AIPromo Agenda: 2:30 pm.
