BWSI Autonomous RACECAR IAP 2025

Speaker: Lewis Chan, Co-founder and CEO, Dragonmarts Xsight, and Chair of the Advisory Board, MIT Hong Kong Innovation Node.  MIT BSc Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 1991

 

Moderated by Charles Sodini, Faculty Director, MIT Hong Kong Innovation Node & Clarence J. LeBel, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

 

The Greater Bay Area (GBA) in China, comprising cities like Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong, is a fertile ground for innovative business models. With a GDP of US$1.7 trillion, it ranks 13th in the global economy, on par with South Korea. Driven by rapid technological advancements, government support, and an entrepreneurial culture, many new business models have emerged that are reshaping industries and setting trends not only within the region but globally. Some examples are Platform-based Ecosystems (Tencent), Autonomous and Electric Vehicles (BYD and Xpeng), and Cross-border e-commerce (Shein and Xsight). We will present some of these business and technology cases and discuss their implications for the MIT community. 


This event is sponsored by the MIT-China Program at the Center for International Studies and the MIT Hong Kong Innovation Node. The event is in-person and limited to the MIT community only.

Emerging Business and Technology Paradigms in China’s Greater Bay Area 

The IDEAS Social Innovation Challenge is MIT’s longest running social entrepreneurship program housed in the PKG Public Service Center. Since its founding in 2001, IDEAS has enabled MIT student-led teams to apply their education and expertise in collaboration with community partners to address social and environmental challenges around the world. Through this program, you can recruit a team from anywhere in the world and develop a creative solution in partnership with impacted stakeholders. Your team can also benefit from a supportive body of reviewers, mentors, and funding within the range of $1,000 – $20,000.


Eligibility

Team structure: Each team must be led by one or more full-time MIT students for the duration of the application process (through the following April after the November deadline). A full-time MIT student on the team must also have significantly contributed to the innovative design, process, model, technology, or other key components of the project. Consider bringing in people beyond MIT students that will contribute the right skills to round out your team. There is no team size requirement. 

Although you may enter a project for which you already have established a formal entity (501(c)(3), LLC, C corp, B corp, for example), your project cannot have acquired significant investment ($>100,000). Funding will go to the MIT student(s) on your team, not to any organization you have created. We strongly encourage teams to partner with community partners to understand the problem, develop the solution, and implement the project. A community partner can be a non-profit organization, a government body, a partner or client company, a community leader, a school, etc.

Service-focused & ethical: IDEAS is a program of the MIT PKG Public Service Center. As such, all projects must have a service focus, working to address an unmet need for a historically and/or acutely underserved societal or environmental challenge. We are looking for projects in which the social mission is explicit and ethics is central. Projects must not put any person or living creatures in harm’s way.

Location: While projects can take place in the US or abroad, we are guided by MIT’s Travel Risk Policy for determining whether students can travel to certain locations. Please be sure to check whether your project location is on this list: https://globalsupport.mit.edu/travel-safety-abroad/safety-abroad/country-warning-levels/. We do not permit students to travel to High Risk locations, and we work with students on a case-by-case basis for other countries with travel warnings. If you are planning to travel or are traveling with PKG Center funds, we reserve the right to ask you to change, delay, or otherwise alter your travel plans if we think it necessary for your safety. 

Participation: All MIT and non-MIT participants may only join ONE team per academic year. Your team must be available to attend all required events—reviewer feedback session, the spring finalist seminar series, the showcase & awards ceremony, and, if applicable, any other necessary programming.

Repeat applicant: We welcome back all past applicants even those who were among our finalists cohort in past years. Past applicants may submit the same idea or a new project.

About Interrogative Design:
A timely collection that shows how design can animate public space and catalyze democratic processes through vital discussion and public engagement.

“Design thinking” emphasizes the production of solutions after a period of research. By contrast, interrogative design focuses on activating the public sphere and enriching public discourse through the production of questions. A notable contribution to the fields of critical design and media art, interrogative design traces its development to Krzysztof Wodiczko and his 1990s public art projects, documented in the book Critical Vehicles.

In Interrogative Design, Ian Wojtowicz showcases this lineage with new writing from Wodiczko and a host of contributions from diverse and influential practitioners, including Rosalyn Deutsche and Antoni Muntadas. This book highlights the dynamism of interrogative design as it is practiced today.

Never has the need for work that provokes thoughtful discourse been more necessary, and this volume catalogs both the need and potential viable techniques. A consolidated collection on the legacy and the vital currency of interrogative design, this volume will delight practitioners with new material and serve students as a practical handbook.

Contributors also include: Dora Apel, Dan Borelli, Harrell Fletcher, Pete Ho Ching Fung, Dana Gordon, Sara Hendren, Garnet Hertz, Sohin Hwang, Ekene Ijeoma, Marisa Morán Jahn, Mark Jarzombek, Jaekyung Jung, Sung Ho Kim, Jean-Baptiste Labrune, Pia Lindman, Ani Liu, Andrew Todd Marcus, Matthew Mazzotta, Alex Milton, Max Mollon, Mariana Morais, Antoni Muntadas, Gauri Nagpal, Maria Niro, Ginger Nolan, Robert Ochshorn, Adam Ostolski, Sofia Ponte, Gustavo Romeiro, Natalia Romik, Warren Sack, Kirk Savage, Nitin Sawhney, Sanjit Sethi, Samein Shamsher, James Shen, Carl Solander, Richard Streitmatter-Tran, Orkan Telhan, Bruce M. Tharp, Stephanie M. Tharp, Zenovia Toloudi, Marek Wasilewski, Lani Watson, Sampson Wong, and Ben Wood.

Games and Machine Learning – an MIT Independent Activities Period offering

This course will combine a series of lectures and hackathon-style projects, the latter chosen from a list of examples or otherwise devised, to introduce students to game creation, current game-related research and an exploration of the technology, the art and the fun of video games.

PlayStation Comes to MIT: The Nexus of Games and AI

Description: Computers and gaming have grown up together. Since Bertie the Brain learned to play Tic Tac Toe in 1950, computers have hosted, played, and designed increasingly sophisticated games as they have grown in power. For every computer science paper on the arXiv – from computer vision to LLMs to personal immersion to cognitive science and general AI – there are a half dozen use cases you can name in the creation of video games. Furthermore, video games provide new worlds and synthetic data that test and stretch the capabilities of machine learning models – so the relationship is synergistic.

This course will give a brief, project-oriented survey of some of the main research topics that are integral to the development of the future of gaming. Lecturers from Sony Interactive Entertainment (PlayStation) as well as contributors from MIT and other universities will discuss topics such as player immersion, persuadable chatbots and realistic NPCs, sentiment analysis, rendering, asset and game creation with Unreal Engine and the use of LLMs for agent planning and the development of game tutor agents. Students will choose from a list of potential course projects (or invent their own) and the final week will include student project presentations.

Audience: The course is targeted at those who have an interest in video games and machine learning. There are no specific prerequisites. We encourage students with an interest in art, psychology, writing, social impact and design of games to participate.

Structure: Project-oriented course combined with lectures. 

Readings: will depend on project choice. Chosen from the literature.
