With over 100 AI use cases across our business, we’re pushing the boundaries of innovation—from using deep reinforcement learning to train robot arms for efficient picking and packing, to optimisation algorithms which ensure deliveries are made on time.

Code for Life partnered with our in-house robotics team at Ocado Technology this week to celebrate #AdaLovelaceDay. Just a few weeks earlier, we were inspired at a Women in Tech event, where the motivational Michelle Griffith Robinson OLY urged us to seize the moment and build our tribes. Taking her words to heart, we decided to organise this special event in record time, with only a few weeks to plan and execute. We invited some of Ocado’s talented women to share their expertise, focusing on public speaking tips and techniques. Our line-up of incredible speakers included Myrna Macgregor, Christina Georgiou, Alice Lu, and Jazmin Hempenstall, with Meera Tom as our host, alongside our very own Laura Cumming and Florian Aucomte. The event pulled in a full house, and colleagues from our global development centres joined remotely to learn how to enhance their public speaking skills. Code for Life's mission extends beyond coding, and we wanted to link this event with volunteering. We regularly visit schools to talk about careers in robotics and technology, aiming to inspire more girls to explore tech roles. By bringing real role models into classrooms through talks and workshops, we provide students with valuable insights while offering our Ocado Group colleagues opportunities to practise their presentation skills and adapt their communication to diverse audiences. It’s a win-win situation – and great fun for everyone involved! We managed to persuade a few of our colleagues that day to join us on our upcoming events, so keep a look out for how they get involved over the coming months. If you’d like to be part of this fantastic journey too, consider volunteering or contributing with Code for Life: https://lnkd.in/eqhAT7z7 #community #codeforlife #volunteers #careers #STEM #womenintech #industryexperience #diversityandinclusion #collectivepotential
