Conversation with the Executive Team
In this special episode, the executive team of the Sheridan Computer Science in Business Society (SCSBS) gets together for a laid-back yet insightful semester review! We reflect on the club's journey, the tech landscape, and some of the biggest trends shaping education and careers in the industry. From discussing how schools can better prepare students for a fast-changing tech world to debating AI's impact on jobs and the appeal of big tech vs. startups, we cover it all. But it's not all serious—things get fun as we dive into offbeat topics like what we'd name our biography movies or books and other random (but important!) conversations
