Wisdom from FIRST founder & WPI alum + inspired young minds = WAFFLE 🧇@first_global_

In this episode, we explore how music and technology come together in powerful and unexpected ways at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Our guest, Professor Frederick Bianchi, is a world-renowned expert in music technology and a pioneer in virtual performance environments. He shares how WPI’s innovative programs in both music and music technology challenge traditional boundaries and prepare students to become the next generation of creative technologists. From synthesizers to AI-generated compositions, and from immersive audio to real-time performance solutions, we dive into the cutting-edge work happening at the crossroads of art and engineering. Whether you're a musician, a technologist, or just curious about how creativity and code collide, this conversation will strike a chord. Related story mentioned in podcast: The Brain on Jazz

Hi, my name is Fenwick, and I am an eleven-week-old female black lab. I am from the Guide Dog foundation, and for the next year I'm training to become the best guide dog I can be. My parents Alex Sawicki and Clay Ramus are brothers of Phi Kappa Theta who have trained a few guide dogs in the past. Alex is a junior, studying Robotics Engineering, and Clay is a junior, studying Electrical and Computer Engineering. They have already taught me so much, and I can't wait to learn more! I hope to see you on campus!
