Borealis AI, the AI research centre created by Royal Bank of Canada, just launched a new initiative for undergraduate students in Canada called Let’s SOLVE it.

Let’s SOLVE it is an AI mentorship program that aims to help undergraduate students in universities and colleges make a difference in their communities through the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

This free 2-months program provides students with mentorship, contacts, training and the guidance needed to solve a problem in their local community and turn their idea into a viable proof-of-concept. We’re looking for teams of 3 to 5 undergraduate students. The mentorship program is conducted virtually and runs from October 1st to December 2nd, designed to fall within the school semester. Anyone interested can learn more about this initiative here: https://www.borealisai.com/en/about/lets-solve-it/. 

We would appreciate it if you shared the news of this program with your network of students at your university and on any social media channels, relevant newsletters and mail-lists that the university has in order to let students know about this opportunity. For convenience, here are some links to the Borealis AI Twitter and LinkedIn messages regarding the program, in case anyone would like to re-share:
