From the first flight to the stage at Harvard: What IEEE gave me before I even knew what artificial intelligence was [Techtravel]

In 2015, I boarded a plane for the first time. I was born and raised in Salvador, Bahia, and had never left the state; the first time I saw the world from above was on my way to an IEEE Brazil Council National Student Branch Meeting in Brasília. I remember looking out the window and thinking that this was the farthest I had ever been from home. I didn’t know it yet, but that flight was the beginning of a journey that would take me, years later, to a stage in Boston.
