Looking Back At 2023
As we wrap up our recent 8-week course designed for students with no prior experience in computer science, we reflect on the incredible journey we’ve had together. With a diverse group of 16 students—including 10 high school sophomores, 4 juniors, 1 senior, and a college senior majoring in Information Engineering—we aimed to ignite their passion for technology and programming.
Highlight Of the Course
Engaging Guest Speakers
One of the standout features of our course was the participation of industry professionals who graciously shared their experiences and insights. Their stories not only inspired our students but also provided real-world context to the concepts they were learning. We are immensely grateful to all our guest speakers for their valuable contributions!
Course Structure
The course was divided into two main segments, allowing students to gain hands-on experience in both Android application development and cloud computing.
Segment 1: Android Application Modification
Objective: Students worked on modifying the TensorFlow Lite Pose Estimation Android Demo.
Skills Developed: Programming, machine learning, and mobile app development.
Outcome: By the end of this segment, students successfully built an AI-powered Android pose classifier app using Human Pose Classification with MoveNet and TensorFlow Lite.
