Our annual three-day off-campus retreat is a dedicated space for reflection, connection, and creative thinking outside the daily rhythm of lab life. Each year builds on a central theme—from rebuilding connection after remote work, to accelerating research collaborations, to deepening inter-lab synergy through joint retreats with the IMERSE Lab. While the themes evolve, the retreat remains an integral part of our lab culture. We prioritize this opportunity to stretch our minds, strengthen our community, and imagine what we can build together.

We regularly offer two courses:

CS 482/682 | MACHINE LEARNING: DEEP LEARNING

CS 484/684 | EXPLAINABLE AI DESIGN & HUMAN-AI INTERACTION

We’re committed to making our research accessible and engaging to a wide range of audiences. Through campus visits, we regularly host groups ranging from elementary school students to international collaborators and industry professionals. Our team designs and leads hands-on demos tailored to each audience, sharing not only what we build—but why it matters.
