Building on Rensselaer’s long tradition of innovation at the intersection of science, technology and the arts, our attention is turned to emerging needs at the human/technology interface.

Students learn to speak Chinese through the Mandarin Project’s virtual reality, synthetic intelligent characters and gamification.
