This event will showcase our newest solar-powered vehicle and honour our many supporters.

For twenty-eight years, we have managed to stay as the one of the top Canadian solar race car teams. During the event, current and past project managers, university professors and key Midnight Sun team members will share the journey of Midnight Sun XI and their visions of a more sustainable future.

This event will give you the opportunity to learn more about what we have achieved and how we can collaborate to continue making ground breaking vehicles.

The panel discussion will be focused on guiding UW researchers on how to engage with hospitals and how to succeed with clinical/academic partnerships. Specifically, the discussion will be centered on an overview of best practices when engaging hospitals, what clinicians are looking for in terms of collaboration, and how get the ball rolling. Light refreshments will be served.

Invited Speakers (subject to change):

Learn what a graduate degree in engineering can offer you! Hear from faculty members about the benefits of a graduate studies degree. Speak with current grad students and admissions experts from each engineering department. All undergrads welcome!

UWaterloo Statistics Club and Data Science Club are jointly hosting an introductory talk on the Data Science framework and Machine Learning presented by Andrew Andrade.
