Digital transformation has been a very popular topic in the last decade. Every major technology provider and consultancy firm worldwide has its definition for it; however, for many, it has become a buzzword that has been used and abused to sell every possible service or gadget, without helping companies build a clear path for successful adoption that will turn the new technology into an asset and not a dead weight.

The year 2020 was globally marked by the pandemic caused by COVID-19, or coronavirus. The situation that changed the world also affected our IEEE Student Branch (SB). Our university had closed due to the lockdown, and we had no place to conduct our activities. The whole situation was discouraging our members. In our second year of activity, we had to think of new strategies and activities to keep the SB active. This article describes the changes we made during the 2020 pandemic that increased our visibility and activities—actions that turned our biggest challenge into our success.

Decades have passed since the world went crazy about the revolution of the machine. Through the years, pioneers in the field tried to imagine how such progress in artificial intelligence (AI) could influence our lives. Were we going to witness sentient machines among us? What would their capabilities, superpowers, and limitations be? Were there ghosts in the machines? Many of these questions confused the greatest minds of our era.
