Miami Dade College students will unveil their cutting-edge AI applications spanning machine learning, robotics, natural language processing, and other tech innovations on Thursday night as part of its inaugural “Student AI Showcase.”
The event runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the AI Center at MDC’s Wolfson Campus, Building 1, 300 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami.
“The AI Student Showcase is a bold reminder that the future isn’t something we wait for — it’s something we build,” said Pedro Santos Acosta, Executive Director of Emerging Technologies at Miami Dade College.
“Students at MDC aren’t just learning about artificial intelligence,” he said. “They’re using it to reimagine industries, solve real-world problems, and shape a smarter, more innovative tomorrow.”
He noted the “projects demonstrate a clear evolution in how MDC students engage with artificial intelligence, embracing it as a powerful instrument for inquiry, creativity and real-world problem-solving.”

“Each solution emerges from a real-world need, grounded in both technical skill and thoughtful analysis,” he said.
Miami Dade College’s AI programs offer a pathway from college credit certificates to associate and bachelor’s degrees, “opening doors for both traditional students and those seeking a fresh start,” said Santos Acosta.
Attendees will also hear from faculty leaders and guest speakers from Miami Dade College and Miami’s tech and workforce community to understand the growing role of AI in education, industry, and community development.
