This past fall semester, the University of Georgia’s chapter of Girls Who Code significantly expanded its impact into the Athens-Clarke School District. 26 club members hosted nearly 50 interactive workshops, reaching over 60 students from third to twelfth grade. Girls Who Code is pivotal in shaping a more inclusive and innovative future for the computing industry, signifying the importance of involvement in the local school districts.

AI Transforming

Please join us for the 2023-2024 UGA AI Research Day, sponsored by the Institute for Artificial Intelligence.  This year, we will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of UGA's Artificial Intelligence Center, which began in 1994 and was reclassified as a research Institute in 2008. 

The event will take place from 2:00 - 7:00 pm in the Tate Center Reception Hall and will consist of the following activities. Light refreshments will be provided throughout.

What is now the UGA Institute for Artificial Intelligence began as a research group in 1984. This event celebrates 40 years of achievements in Artificial Intelligence at UGA with research highlights, open discussions and faculty mixers. Refreshments will be available throughout. 

University of Georgia provides a set of excellent opportunities for study abroad, one of the most prominent being the Summer program at Oxford University, which has been in existence for 30 years now.  Oxford University in UK is not only one of the top Universities in the world, but  with its origins going back to 1096, the oldest University in English-speaking world. Oxford at UGA is thus the combination of first public University in the USA with the first University ever with English instruction!

Interested in experiencing all that engineering at UGA has to offer? Attend one of our Information Sessions. These events involve a formal presentation from staff where prospective undergraduate students and families are able to learn about our curriculum, experiential learning opportunities, student groups and competitions, support for entrepreneurship and innovation, and much more. Registration is required. All Information Sessions are followed by a guided tour of our Driftmier Engineering facility led by a College of Engineering Student Ambassador.
