Field Trip to Google

 



On Friday afternoon, we had a field trip to Google to learn about how they use machine learning in their products.

We toured the offices.  The space is themed to fit the San Diego vibe with areas/spaces named after locations in San Diego and décor to match scenery in the county.









We got to see their lounges as well as micro-kitchens.


























Our host Sam was great in sharing about Google, its work culture and products.




We appreciate all the time and energy it took to host us.  Everyone had a great time!

They also got an introduction to ethics in STEM.  We heard from the Ethics Center about the different perspectives in ethics and how the dilemmas are weighed.  From there, they brainstormed a lot of different topics related to our cluster of machine learning, artificial intelligence and data sceince which have ethical issues.  Today, they presented their brainstormed ideas.  They will continue to e...
