“I took 2.980 in the Fall of 2019 working on the FIFA project on automated event tracking. I think it was one of the coolest things I did as an undergrad at MIT and it's still something that I tell everyone about whenever anyone asks about a unique opportunity MIT has offered me. I have ended up talking about it many times in job interviews as well and I think it was the first project where I worked on where the workflow actually resembled projects in real jobs I have had.”
— Federico Ramirez, Class of ‘23
