RL@B

About

Our vision for the Berkeley ecosystem

The best RL researchers and the best students in every department, finally in one room.

Mission

Engineering pays for the work. Research runs through everything. Education builds the pipeline.

Why this club had to exist

Consulting clubs have the majors. Tech clubs have the builders.

Nobody had both.

Consulting clubs

Talent from every major. No artifacts.

Tech clubs

Great builders. No domain judgment.

RL@B

Both, in one pod.

How we're organized

Four functions, one pod model.

Education

A Spring 2027 DeCal and open workshops.

Community

Retreat, speakers, lab visits, a hackathon.
