So of the programs that students can go through, Can you each give me a little bit of a high-level idea about, within your area of expertise and in your purview, what this program might look like for a student going through this new program in partnership with the Mars Society? Joydeep, you want to start with that one?
29:21
Yeah.

So I had a stint in 2023 where I was able to take eight students from Northeastern Seattle, Northeastern University, Seattle campus, and seven from UW.
29:34
They were competing colleges, but the seven plus seven students were like a big team.
29:40
And somehow we had this crazy idea we're going to build a Mars habitat.
29:43
And within eight weeks, I was able to teach them IoT communication, networking, data science, and a bunch of stuff to kind of package something extremely fast and spin it up.
29:54
So initially we thought it's just gonna be a joke, but actually it turned out really well.
