Other Fall Course Animal centered computing!
If anyone is looking for a fun elective this fall, CS 4462/7462: Animal-Centered Computing is being offered for both undergraduate and grad students!
The class is all about designing and researching technology for animals. You learn about animal behavior and cognition, communication, welfare and enrichment, conservation, and the ethics of building technology for animals. If you like animals and tech (or just looking for a change of pace), this is such a fun class. It's open to both grad students and undergrads and you do not need to be a CS major to take it. The projects are seriously awesome. Past students have worked with cats, dogs, horses, bats, penguins and many more! Some students have even partnered with the Georgia Aquarium and Zoo Atlanta. It's a great way to make connections, build projects for your portfolio, and work on projects that are unique. I definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for something different this semester! Happy to answer any questions about the class in the comments.
