Hello, from Brazil, a low-middle income class. Also,  I’m a rising Junior pursuing an Electrical Engineer Degree at NYU (in case there are other students that want to connect), I have been always interested in space. My specific ‘end career goal’ would be working on robotics or AI safety for Space Systems, to make sure the robots and AI being used inside and outside earth can be safe, aligned and prevented from hacked. I do feel sometimes that my major can give me a spike on that field but also I feel a lack of skills mainly related to algorithms. To solve that I’ve been focusing on coding projects and have been looking for opportunities to gather skills. What could be the best path that I could take for my end objective? In an EA perspective is a problem that the community is looking to address? What could be maybe people that I could contact or opportunities that I could apply to get skills or a glimpse of this field/research?

I’m still understanding if I would work on the implementation of AI/robotics or on safety research
