Every year, National Instruments holds an event named NI
Week. The week features companies and
colleges from all over the world coming to Austin, TX to collaborate and learn
more about National Instruments and LabVIEW.
NIWeek
delivers technical networking and instruction with interactive sessions by NI
R&D engineers and guest lecturers; targeted industry summits; hands-on workshops; exhibitions on the latest advancements
in design, research, and test; and keynote presentations from leading
technology thought leaders. Past presenters include Dr. Neil Gershenfeld of
MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms, Dr. Michio Kaku of City College of New York,
and the late Tim Samaras of Discovery Channel’s Storm Chasers. Attendees
include engineers, scientists, and executives from organizations such as
Boeing, CERN, John Deere, ST-Ericsson, and UC Berkeley.
National Instruments recently created a program called the
“NI Elite Educator.” Mike Yakubovsky was
selected to be included in the program this past spring. The Elite Educator program allows CHS and the
STEM Academy to be recognized within an industry leader. We will be able to collaborate with other
schools and universities to expand the opportunities of our learners as well as
get to test out new products from NI.
At NI Week, Mike will be giving a presentation highlighting
some of the amazing work our learners are doing at CHS as well as how they are
using LabVIEW and NI hardware.
Additionally, there will be professional development and networking
opportunities. NI is also offering the
chance for the Elite Educators to beta test a new product being introduced this
year.
