“My goal is to build my own company, and the AI+X journey gave me more than technical knowledge. The community became a place to test ideas, get feedback, and connect with others building across industries. It’s not just a program — it’s an ecosystem.”
“The AI+Biotech concentration gave me both breadth and depth. I could choose projects aligned with my interests while applying machine learning in real-world biotech contexts. It felt less like coursework and more like building something that actually matters.”
“What sets BlendED apart is the exposure. Learning alongside students and professionals applying AI in different industries expanded how I think. It’s not just about skills — it’s about seeing how AI reshapes entire fields through shared perspectives.”
“Coming from a humanities background, AI felt inaccessible at first. The foundation course gave me the confidence to enter the field, and the AI+X projects showed me how to apply AI thinking to new domains. For the first time, I could see how my background connects to emerging technologies.”
“The structured journey from AI foundations to applied PBLs completely changed how I see my future. Through the AI + Computer Vision in Biotech project, I didn’t just learn new tools — I validated that Medical AI is the field I want to build my career in.”
