Real World Robotics

Wayforward Weekends

Theme: Wayforward Weekends — every two weeks, we step outside of pure robotics and focus on the bigger picture: your academic journey, professional growth, and career strategy. These sessions happen on Saturday or Sunday evenings, giving students a chance to interact, reflect, and plan their future.
