Fun Times with a Different Challenge

Students have been working hard since Friday on their final projects. We're nearing the finish line for it and they are preparing their presentations to showcase their learning.

Lab today ended with a different kind of challenge. Students convinced Emmett (one of the mentors) to do a pistol squat.


Then Emmett tried to bend down on one leg to pick up a piece of paper on the floor. He couldn't do it, but Owen (another mentor could). 



Several students tried (with a fresh piece of paper).





We had one student, Angie, who did it!

Later, Robert showed that he was able to do a pistol squat with his non-dominant leg.

First Machine Learning Project: Clustering

Image
On Wednesday, students presented their work on Spotify data using either k- Nearest Neighbors, k- Means Clustering or logistic regression.  They needed to also include a visualization of their data.  This was their first "formal" presentation of the cluster. They implemented algorithms to have the machine make suggestions or predictions about data.  Some created their own versions of recommender systems (based on songs, playlists, determining if a song is of a specific genre, etc.). Students determined what features were relevant and commented on any observations.  Below are their presentations.  Congratulations to Faculty Choice Award winners Faith and Ronit and People's Choice Award winner Angie and Isaac.  Andrea, Robert and Aamir Song Recommendation Algorithm :  Presentation Slides Angelina and Stik Recommendation Spotify Project :  Presentation Slides Minseo and Samuel Spotify Project :  Presentation Slides Amishi and Rhyan Spotify Playl...

Thank you for being a part of Cluster 12.  It was an honor and privilege to be your Teacher Fellow and a part of your journey.  Thank you for allowing me to be your "paparazzi" in an attempt to capture your time in class and in lab.  It has been an absolute pleasure having this group of amazing individuals in Cluster 12.  They were challenged in many ways and rose to each challenge.  I am so proud of all they accomplished.  Final Project Special Recognition was awarded to Robert and Ronit.

Project #2 - Image Processing and Neural Networks

Image
On Monday, July 24, students presented their neural network classification projects.  Students were tasked with training their model to identify images and create an application around it.  At the conclusion, the students voted for their "People's Choice Award" for their favorite application created.  The teaching team (faculty, cluster assistants and teacher fellow) selected the "Faculty Choice Award". Congratulations to our Faculty Choice Award winners: Angie and Aamir.  We had a tie for the People's Choice Awards!  Congratulations to Jyoti and Ronit and Samuel and Angelina.
