I had the opportunity to learn a great deal from a diverse group of people, each bringing their own unique perspectives and experiences. What stood out to me the most was the strong spirit of knowledge sharing and collaboration. It’s through this kind of supportive environment that we all grow—both personally and professionally.

I really appreciate how you’re creating opportunities for people to learn about AI, especially since it’s something you’re doing voluntarily. It’s great to see this kind of initiative because it makes AI more accessible to people who might not have had a way to get involved otherwise. I’m genuinely thankful for that.

I think one of the best parts of phase two was having supportive mentors available. It made a huge difference knowing I could ask them anything—even questions that felt embarrassing or basic, especially when it came to understanding the code. That kind of openness and encouragement really helped me feel more confident and supported in my learning journey.

The most helpful part was the speakers that presented their topics each week. They gave me a realistic representation of how different people in different fields are using and developing AI and how AI can benefit different groups. The thorough understanding of the applications of AI sparked my interest in applied AI and helped me choose the career path that is suitable for me!
