Cognitive Systems Society

The Cognitive Systems Society is a student-run organization supporting students in the COGS program, and those with an interest in COGS-related fields such as neuroscience, artificial intelligence, human-computer interfaces, and robotics. We hold a wide range of fun events, including popular licensed events (such as the Welcome back BBQ, Robot-Themed Dance Parties, and Masters of Debate), and academic events (study sessions, Meet the Profs). We also have a lab space with a patio in the basement of the Friedman building if you ever want to study or just relax. Volunteering for the CSS is a great way to meet fellow COGS students, contribute to UBC's campus life, and learn valuable leadership skills. The student executive, which organizes events and promotes everything COGS, is elected every spring. You can also get involved through helping out with their events or dropping by weekly meetings which are open to all CSS members.

Enseña Uruguay

Enseña Uruguay es una organización que trabaja para expandir las oportunidades de educación en Uruguay. La visión de Enseña Uruguay es que en 2035 todos los niños, niñas y adolescentes recibirán una educación de calidad que les permitirá tomar cualquier decisión de sus futuro. Enseña Uruguay quiere alcanzar este objetivo convocando, seleccionando y formando estudiantes universitarios, profesionales y profesores que desean dedicar dos años de su vida a dar clases en centros educativos de contextos desfavorables, con la expectativa de que se conviertan no solo en profesores eficaces, sino también en impulsores de una transformación en el sistema educativo. La organización tiene 3 grandes objetivos: 1) Que todos los adolescentes tengan a todos sus profesores, garantizando su Derecho a la educación. 2) Que nuestros PEU (Participantes de Enseña Uruguay) den clases significativas: que los adolescentes sean los protagonistas del aprendizaje, se conecten con su educación y desarrollen habilidades socio emocionales que les permitan alcanzar su máximo potencial. 3) Que los PEU desarrollen sus habilidades de liderazgo, y un profundo entendimiento de la realidad educativa uruguaya desde adentro, para poder generar nuevas propuestas educativas más justas e inclusivas. Enseña Uruguay es una organización independiente que forma parte de la red mundial Teach For All, una red de aprendizajes que nuclea 46 organizaciones de distintos países alrededor del mundo: www.teachforall.org Para conocer más del programa y unirte a nuestro movimiento entrá a: www.vasaservaliente.com
