BiR Boston Chapter
Welcome! The goal of the BiR Boston Chapter is to create a connected community of Black roboticists and allies in the Greater Boston Area — students, researchers, practitioners — for sharing knowledge, mentoring&outreach, and advocacy. We will be hosting meet&greet events, workshops, career fairs, and outreach opportunities. Boston area is a hub of academic and industry institutions, and a great place where we can work together to advance the goals of BiR.
To keep in touch with what we are upto, join the BiR slack channel and mailing list! Within BiR slack, we have a dedicated channel (# boston_chapter) where you can meet other local members and keep track of our events. And we look forward to meeting you all in person.
A special thanks to our primary corporate sponsor, Amazon Robotics, for their generous support.
