A Day in the Life at Singularity University

Published: Thursday, 09 July 2015

From June 13 - August 23, I am staying at NASA AMES Research Park, funded by Google, studying with 80 people from around the world in Singularity University's Graduate Studies Program.

I'm at week 4, and I love it so much.  My mind gets filled to the brim every single day.  My peers are amazing.  It is so much fun to be surrounded by people that push you to be and do better.

To share with you what it's like here, I created a video showing a day in my life!

About Me

Marita ChengForbes named me a world's top 50 woman in tech & 30 Under 30. I founded Robogals and Aipoly and was Young Australian of the Year 2012. Currently working on robotics company Aubot. I'm the youngest Member of the Order of Australia (AM) and I give speeches around the world.

I tweet @maritacheng and I'm on Facebook.
