SCOPE: Training AI in Minecraft with Dr. Jacob Schrum
This summer, students worked with Dr. Jacob Schrum training the AI algorithm in Minecraft to create complex flying machines. This was part of the SCOPE program at Southwestern University.
Through SU’s Summer Collaborative Opportunities and Experiences, or SCOPE, students partner with faculty and fellow undergraduates from across the disciplines—including the natural and social sciences, the humanities, and the arts—to engage in scholarly and creative inquiry.
