This is Tech Week in Waterloo and the organizers say that this is a chance for everyone to check ‘quiet things’.
Waterloo has been known as a tech hub for years, but a new week’s incident wants to share the work being done with the community in the city in a fun way.
Waterloo Tech Week runs from 8 to 11 September and includes a four -day panel, demo and meatup. The program is then mixed in the 12th annual Hack the North North Event which includes a simplification aspect in this year’s program.
Week co-organizer Jasmine Jiang says that 40 programs have been planned in the entire city.
Jiang said, “We are really hoping to give anyone in the community to come on this occasion, join, meet new people and find out the subjects and give a chance to learn about things that will not really have an earlier opportunity.”
“We have really seen that a lot of quiet things are happening in Waterloo, but people are very silent about the quiet things they are working on.”
Many talks are being held and subjects include:
- Friendship with technology.
- How to build your production designer career.
- How to engineer the future of software and age of AI.
- The firecurum panel is talking about the internship.
- Alumni Panel.
- How to maximize government funding.
- Bitcoin Firecide Chat.
Jiang says that Bitcoin Firecide is a program sponsored by the Wilfrid Lawyer Bitcoin Club with the Chief Technology Officer of Nuclear Finance.
Jiang said, “What they are expecting to do is to discuss more technical bitcoin subjects for anyone interested in that field.” “There is a lot of learning opportunity to learn more. So they (Matt Black) who works in the field, and are actually a UW alumnus, who has left to start his point.”
There is also an app on your phone, a “ground connection” Happy Hour, a chess bot tournament, start-up competition and a student entrepreneur using a city-wide treasury using networking lunch.
There are also daily discussions around AI, including AI’s morality and how the role of engineers is shifting from writing code to shaping the AI-related code.
Most of the events are free, although people need to register through the Waterloo Tech Website.
