What I learned this week (26/03/2026)

AICC Placement talk

This, week starting the class, AICC (Artificial Intelligence Collaboration Centre) came in to talk to myself as well as the class, about their placement opportunity. I found this talk very interesting, as not only would the student be in collaboration with AI, but brand design and work is a big aspect as part of this placement, which I have a great interest in myself.

Originally, I had already applied, for this placement, as I think it would be an amazing opportunity for experience, as well as it being incredibly local and easy access for to get to, unlike every other placement opportunity.
