Daily check-ins and troubleshooting sessions with instructors. Application of data science, AI, and prompt engineering techniques in projects. Case Studies: Intersperse the project development with case studies relevant to the projects being worked on. These case studies provide real-world context and additional learning opportunities. Week 4: Finalizing Projects and Presentations (10 Hours) Days 16-18: Project Finalization (6 Hours) Final Development and Refinement Focus on finalizing the projects. Peer-review sessions for constructive feedback. Day 19: Presentation Preparation (2 Hours) Preparing for Final Presentations Guidance on how to present technical projects effectively. Day 20: Final Presentations and Feedback (2 Hours) Presentation of Projects Each group presents their project. Feedback session from instructors and peers. Wrap-Up and Future Directions Recap of key learnings and skills developed. Guidance on further learning resources and career paths in data science, AI, and prompt engineering. Supplementary Materials and Support Pre-Session Readings: Provide articles, videos, and tutorials to introduce key concepts. Online Support Forum: A platform for questions, discussions, and sharing resources. Ongoing Projects: Encourage students to continue working on their projects even after the course, possibly as portfolio pieces. Day 21 to Day 24 Follow-up Sessions The internship has attracted candidates from esteemed universities in the USA, Germany, Brazil, Haiti, and India. Notably, the Rotary Club of Ranchi RID 3250, India, sponsored four candidates. Rtn Dr. Amod Divekar's efforts were instrumental in establishing the connection with District 7780. This internship will continue until June 2024, providing a comprehensive and enriching experience for all participants.
