Imagine RIT

Every year RIT creates a wonder learning event to showcase what the students have been busy with at RIT. It’s an exciting event for families to learn about innovations that are ground breaking and out of this world.

Indeed the Astro-GLPH exhibition is one such booth and garnered lots of interests including interesting influencers such as:

Jacklyn Dallas launched her YouTube channel NothingButTech at 13 years old to assist her grandmother with technology. Since then, it has grown into a platform with 225,000 subscribers and more than 18 million views, featuring tech product reviews and interviews with industry leaders such as Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple Software Engineer Craig Federighi. As a high school student, Dallas began lecturing at top universities including MIT, Harvard, Cornell, and NYU, discussing YouTube journalism, media company building, and tech trends for Gen Z.

In the Hall of Fame, Professor Kurinec explains to one of the many attendees how NanoFiche is making it possible for her course materials for MSEE601 to be preserved on the Moon via Astrobotic’s Griffin-1 Lander. It is part of a larger collection to preserve Humanity’s vast knowledge. Here’s how to view that course work about the size of a quarter. https://nanorosetta.com/viewer/glph/mcee601.html

The hall was packed and the parking lot filled up well before the exhibits opened. Lots of great questions from young and old minds alike. For those that filled out messages, we will take them to the Moon on a nickel plate to be immortalized forever amongst the stars.
