Hello all,
VGLUG is sharing various technology knowledge with rural college students. As part of this initiative, we conduct weekly AI/ML with Python and Cyber Security training classes. The training is divided into three teams due to a large number of participants. Engineering students are assigned to AI/ML with Python Team 1, Arts & Science students to AI/ML with Python Team 2, and overall cybersecurity participants are in a separate team. During these sessions, we share knowledge about AI/ML with Python, Cyber Security, free software technologies, tools, and social activities.
