Week 18 (23 & 24 March 2024) :: DiscoverSTEM Sessions

AI-ML & Autonomous Tech :: Team Raj Reddy

Research Lab:

The innovators in the Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Autonomous Technology Research Lab began class by reviewing the content they previously learned in Module 3: Basic Terms of AI/ML/AT. Following this, the students had an activity covering the basis of developing an artificial-intelligence based personal assistant.

The innovators split into three groups and were tasked to compile possible algorithms to operate within the instances they chose to analyze. They quickly established a foundation for training data, the systems’ abilities to learn and adapt, and recognizing the user’s intent to make valid assumptions based on parameters provided. The team will further their grasp of terminology & usage in the world of AI next session.

Innovation:

After finishing their activity from the third module of their research lab, Team Raj Reddy continued with brainstorming and perfecting their two innovations meant to tackle the problem of “Debris clogging gutters.” In doing so, the concept’s operation as a whole was completed and documented. The innovators then wrapped up their documentation and are expected to prepare themselves for a presentation to the patent expert and Chief Innovation Facilitator, Mr. Faizan, in the next session.

Research Assignment:

Adhering to Mr. Faizan’s feedback and ensure that they are prepared to immediately present both ideas next class.

AI-ML & Autonomous Tech :: Team Ismail al-Jazari

Innovation:

Team Ismail-Al-Jazari began their documentation journey for their final innovation. This consists of separating their innovation into main systems, writing detailed descriptions of said systems, and drawing diagrams to visually depict their innovation.

Research Lab:

In the AI, ML, and Autonomous Technology Research Lab, the innovators kicked off their session by revisiting Module 3’s core concepts. They then engaged in an activity centered around crafting an artificial intelligence-driven personal assistant that can perform the three different variations of daily activities.

The innovators split into multiple groups for this activity to brainstorm potential algorithms tailored to their chosen scenarios. Their focus encompassed laying the groundwork for training data, understanding the systems’ capacity to learn and adapt through neural networks and pattern recognition, and effectively interpreting user intent from provided parameters. Their exploration of artificial intelligence terminology and application will continue in the upcoming session.

Research Assignment:

Continue documentation throughout the week. The presentation should be completed as per instructions by next session!

Neurotechnology & Brain Computer Interface :: Team Elon Musk

Innovation:

This session Team Elon Musk worked towards refining their final solution for their problem “Student’s being stuck in hallways during school shootings” so they could begin their documentation process. They discussed the multiple systems they could incorporate into their innovation and the feasibility of their inclusions. Some innovators began making their diagrams whilst the other innovators worked on their descriptions.

Research Assignment:

Continue developing their systems and working on documentation for their research assignment this week.

CLAIM Team :: Ramanujan

Today’s prompt was, if you could go 100 years into the past or future, or stay in the present, what would your choice be? The kids were tasked with debating the pros and cons that the past and the future present. Divided down the middle, each kid had their own priorities with their time travel, whether it was to make money or bring back technology from the future. This prompt challenged their ability to think into what our future could hold!

CLAIM Team :: Ibn al-Haytham

For today’s session, we covered the same topic as the morning class, “If you could go into the past or future, or stay in the present, what would your choice be?” With only one innovator today, we were able to discuss why traveling in the past would be her choice. Traveling into the past allows her to witness dinosaurs in real time, since they are her favorite creatures!
