Interested in Real-time AI Experience?
Lift-OffAre you a student pursuing an AI related degree? I am participating in an independent contract relationship with HandshakeAI. Handshake is a career-network platform tailored mainly for college students, recent grads, and early-career jobseekers. It connects them with employers. This is a paid temporary contract situation. Handshake AI calls it Project Hedgehog. I can't speak for whether or not they are still hiring participants, but I believe they are. You must pass an assessment before being invited to join. You may join Handshake at https://app.joinhandshake.com/login and providing the college that you are attending. At any rate, this is a great site for connecting with potential employers.

“Curiosity is the engine of achievement.”
— Ken Robinson - Ken Robinson was a British educator who spent his career poking a big, friendly stick at the ribs of the global school system. His core message was simple but powerful: human creativity isn’t some rare trait possessed only by prodigies — it’s a universal capacity, and schools tend to beat it out of people by accident.“The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.”
— Thomas Berger - Thomas Berger was an American novelist with a wicked sense of humor and a talent for peeling back the layers of American identity. He’s best known for Little Big Man (1964), a satirical Western that follows a 111-year-old man recounting his life among both settlers and Native Americans. The book became a classic, and the Dustin Hoffman film adaptation helped cement Berger’s reputation.
