Tech Movie Nights
This year, we've partnered with the Campus Reading Program around the short story collection I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. The Campus Reading program will hold a series of discussions focusing on individual stories and their themes. After these screenings, the College of Humanities and the Arts will screen popular sci-fi films that offer another perspective on robots and AI in our world and in our imaginations. These screenings are free and open to the public!
