GamesCrafters
GamesCrafters is a computational game theory research and development group led by Teaching Professor Dan Garcia. Our GAMESMAN system strongly solves two-person, abstract strategy games (e.g., Tic-Tac-Toe and Connect Four) and one-person puzzles (e.g., Lights Out and Peg Solitaire) for play and analysis. Come on by to play with it and meet our GamesCrafters!
Join our panel of students from different parts of EECS (AI/ML, Low-Level Systems, Digital Design, Analog) sharing their EECS experiences. Members of the audience can submit questions for the panelists. There will be time after to talk with students about their EECS experience.
If you require an accommodation for effective communication or information about campus mobility access features in order to fully participate in our virtual events, please contact Grayson Johnston (gjohnston@berkeley.edu) with as much advance notice as possible and at least 7 days in advance of the event.
