All are welcome to come to the annual Black Box Competition and Mini Conference.

Student teams from the St Louis Section will compete to determine the contents of two electronic boxes. Come see the action and, if you are a student, plan to attend next year.

Also we are having our second annual Mini Conference with two discussion panels. These panels are geared toward students, but if you are professional you will want to join us to talk to the best of the best students our section has in Electrical Engineers, Computer Engineers, Computer Scientists, and other STEM degrees.

Finally, we are holding an AI Workshop. AI professionals will be discussing and demonstrating AI in the professional realm.

We hope you are able to join us! The schedule of events is given below.
