Palantir built the software the intelligence community used to hunt terrorists. Today they’re one of the most important defense and AI companies on the planet. On April 25, they’re on UATX’s campus for a day — and you get to work with them. The lineup: First, a UATX seminar on how the American Founders thought about ambition. A real debate on whether AI should make us optimistic or terrified. Then, a hands-on Palantir session on “The Art of Decomposition” — how their teams break impossible problems into solvable ones. A closing reception will be open to families. Cost: free. The catch: it’s only open to admitted and deposited UATX students. Haven’t applied yet? It takes five minutes. We’ll even reimburse up to $500 in travel if you haven’t visited campus. Space is strictly limited. Already admitted or deposited? Email Associate Provost Loren Rotner at lrotner@uaustin.org to register (while spots last).
