Courses Completed in Phase 1
- Introduction to Generative AI
- Prompt Engineering Fundamentals
- Building with Vertex AI
- Deploying GenAI Models on Google Cloud
- Real-World Applications of GenAI
What I Did in Phase 1
- Joined virtual onboarding and global networking sessions
- Collaborated with peers to form a diverse, cross-disciplinary team
- Participated in ideation workshops, brainstorming AI solutions for real-world challenges
- Completed 5 foundational GenAI courses (listed above)
- Started planning for the hackathon and model development phase
