"I was amazed by the range of projects that I could choose from, which seamlessly incorporated machine learning and AI concepts into my field of interest in biotechnology. My PBLs provided me with a flexible platform to apply my knowledge and make a real-world impact while building upon my interdisciplinary understanding."
“GTC is where my journey into the application of AI in various fields began. It sparked my passion for AI in business and showed me its true potential. Anyone who hopes to impact the world through this essential technology will find AI+X truly rewarding.”
“It offered an environment where I could dive deep into a field I’m passionate about, learning together with experts and people from diverse backgrounds through active discussions and collaboration.”
“[BlendED] is designed to set unprecedented standards for widening the horizons of learning, which is perhaps best achieved through sharing experiences.”
“This community isn’t just about learning—it’s about belonging. You’re surrounded by driven, curious, and kind people who want to grow, share, and build the future together. This space can truly expand what you believe is possible.”
“What has made the biggest impact on me through BlendED is the confidence I’ve gained in communicating in English.I believe part of this comfort came from collaborating with other non-native English speakers, which created a more accessible and supportive environment.”
"I’ve had a really enjoyable experience with BlendED so far. For me, the biggest impact has been the chance to study something outside of my specialization. Since I come from a humanities background, it’s hard to find opportunities to apply my skills in new ways or explore unfamiliar fields in STEM. "
“The hands-on learning through PBLs and SPOCs has been truly transformative. The AI and Computer Vision in BioTech project has even shifted my career direction toward Medical AI.”
