Eighteen students from across the country got a crash course in computer vision, machine learning, and how to secure a research career in tech during the 2024 SoNIC Summer Research Workshop, held June 24-28 on Cornell’s Ithaca campus.

SoNIC participants developed models to help people with impaired vision to identify objects around them and to allow citizen scientists to identify bird species more accurately, in collaboration with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

Hedaya Walter has her eyes on the skies. Her dream is to work for NASA, leveraging her undergraduate studies in electrical and computer engineering to deploy rovers and drones on uncharted planets.

Her week spent at Cornell’s SoNIC workshop – a crash course in robotics with nearly 30 other U.S. students, hosted by the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science – helped clarify how to make that dream a reality.
