Assoc Prof Martin Henz is bringing NUS Computing to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology! A/P Henz recently started his sabbatical as a Visiting Scholar at MIT, where he’s just finished teaching a small course called "A Taste of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, Java Script Edition (SICP JS)", in late January. The course was offered as part of MIT’s Independent Activities Period, and was open to all MIT students, staff, and alumni. ⚙️ 💻

As a special perk, legendary computer science educator Gerald Jay Sussman — the original co-author of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs — also participated in the course as a ‘student’ along with his wife, computer programmer Julie Sussman.

For four second-year Computer Science students who volunteered to help A/P Henz facilitate a segment of his online classes (dubbed studio sessions), this means they’ve earned eternal bragging rights! 🤩

Research and collaboration in artificial intelligence (AI) has been given a shot in the arm with the official launch of the NUS Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (NUSAIL) on Mon, 21 Feb.

Hosted at NUS Computing, NUSAIL’s mission is to be a centre of excellence in AI research, education, and practice. It started as a self-initiated effort among faculty members who taught AI at NUS Computing.

The event also saw the introduction of Rosetta, an initiative started by faculty members at NUS Computing. The special interest group brings together faculty members in NUS who teach AI courses in a spirit of dialogue and collaboration so as to leverage each other’s strengths and support each other in the field of AI education.

The flexibility to explore both the hardware and software aspects of computing — that's what made Rishab decide to study Computer Engineering at NUS. Then a freshman who hadn’t yet decided on which area to specialise in, he realised it was the perfect fit for someone who loved figuring out how things work, and how to put them together.
