C2SMART welcomed new, and returning, transportation students to the Fall 2020 academic year with this virtual kick-off event. Students learned about C2SMART and new opportunities for student research and entrepreneurship including: an upcoming hackathon using industry or agency transportation data, a grant competition for student-run entrepreneurship, funding for student-driven implementation of research projects at each member of the C2SMART Consortium, and a free C2SMART-provided online course series centered around data science and programming, visualization and spatial analysis, traffic simulations, and machine/deep learning. Art O’Connor, president of ITE, attended as a special guest.
