🌟 Recently, I was an examiner! Darian R. reached out to the wide Rust and Bevy community to find an examiner to fulfill their requirements for their course with code.berlin. I'm always keen to help out motivated individuals learning the ropes! So we chatted a bit and I accepted the role. 📊 The results are in! In their self-made, endorsed by code.berlin module featuring Rust, Bevy and Game development, Darian R. proved a holistic understanding of software development, from problem solving, self-awareness, documentation and communication, as well as effective planning, execution and adaptation. 📚 So even though they're currently focused on finishing their thesis, keep an eye on their profile! 💡 Interestingly enough, the rating period coincided with the start of my new open-source developer role on https://rapier.rs/, a physics library Darian R. used in their project.

The discourse surrounding generative art and the involvement of AI into creative processes is increasingly becoming a pressing matter of conversation. "Art by Algorithm" is my exploration on these topics, in which I observe and problematize the implementation of AI tools and platforms into artistic processes. Discover more about my contribution in pages 182-191 of "Artificial Intelligence in Contemporary Design Praxis: Part II", an amazing publication led by Ruxandra I.!

I am excited to share EduNest, a dynamic online group-study platform designed to enhance collaborative learning among students. This platform enables users to create, submit, update, and review assignments in a seamless and interactive environment. Live Link: https://lnkd.in/ghA9cW4N Main Features: *Create Assignment: Logged-in users can create assignments, which will be stored in the Assignments section. *Assignments Submission: Any user can submit assignments, and these will be displayed in the Pending-Assignments section. *Delete: Only the user who created an assignment can delete it. *Update: Any user can update assignments. The editor's info (name, email, photo) is shown in the View-Details section of the card. *My Submission: Users can view and delete their submitted assignments. *Mark & Feedback: Users, except the assignment creator, can mark and provide feedback on assignments. *Register: Users can register to create an account on the website. *Login: Users must log in to access private routes. *Dark Mode: Dark mode is applied throughout the platform. Technologies Used: EduNest is built using cutting-edge technologies to ensure a robust and user-friendly experience. Key technologies include: * React * MongoDB * Node.js * Express.js * Firebase Skills Developed: * Working on EduNest has allowed me to hone the following skills: * React for dynamic UI development. * MongoDB for efficient database management. * Node.js for server-side programming. * Express.js for building RESTful APIs. * Firebase for authentication and real-time database management. EduNest is a step towards making collaborative study more efficient and engaging. Check out the live platform and experience the ease of managing group assignments online.

Grasping our current state sets the stage for exploring future changes in educating tomorrow's tech experts.  Let's dive into this exciting discussion! #FutureEducation #TechEd #SofwareDevelopment https://lnkd.in/dFuXeqsf

"[insert AI platform name here] can make mistakes", but what if we thought it didn't? You can read my contribution to this amazing body of work guided by Ruxandra I. titled "AI Can-not Make Mistakes!" about the use of AI in research in the link. Full investigation coming soon to AL-EXPO. Stay tuned (ignore the hashtags!!) #ai #research #chatgpt

It's crucial to remember that a single setback does not define our journey. Each defeat is a learning opportunity, a chance to refine our strategies and strengthen our resolve. In the face of challenges, it's our perseverance and determination that pave the way for ultimate success. Let's shift our perspective from temporary setbacks to enduring triumphs, embracing every obstacle as a stepping stone toward greater achievements. #CSS2024JHB #CustomerService #Success https://nuel.ink/NjyvWB

“I’m too girly to be an engineer” Gender stereotypes are still so ingrained in young people’s perceptions of career opportunities. It was a throw-away comment from one of this group, who then went on to win their STEMAZING Structures Challenge where we were looking for #creativity and #collaboration in design. In this workshop we kicked off by asking the groups what they thought an Engineer was. The usual ideas are - someone who fixes things - someone who works with metal - some who works on cars But you can see the lightbulb moments when we show them examples of diverse engineers doing things like medical devices, performance technology in sport, film set design, sustainable food production, humanitarian aid, sound equipment for music concerts, building wildlife bridges. The Royal Academy of Engineering #ThisIsEngineering campaign is fantastic for eye catching content to showcase the exciting diversity in engineering. This is a brilliant way to start and end a workshop. But showing them videos and talking to them is not enough. You need to get them involved. Get them practicing skills that show them they have what it takes to be an engineer if they want to. Hands-on #STEM challenges connect and engage your audience. Young kids thrive on them and it keeps their attention, but I’ve seen even the most disinterested of teenagers get totally engrossed and engaged once they start experimenting hands-on themselves. This team pictured here (with their permission to share) blew me away as they worked so well together exploring different design options with iterative experimentation to work out what would fail and what would work. That is creativity and collaboration and courage in action! #innovation and #problemsolving. Key attributes for #engineers. Turns out you can be girly AND be an engineer. We’re not trying to say everyone MUST do engineering. We’re opening their eyes to the possibility it could be for them. We’re helping them appreciate the everyday engineering in the world around them that is so easy to take for granted. We’re showing them how awesome it is to be curious about the wondrous world around us. We’re showing them ways they can be part of solutions to problems they care about. We need more #rolemodels running workshops like this so we can reach more young people. For support on how to do this effectively you can get involved in our STEMAZING #community open to ALL 🎉 #diversity #inclusion #inspiration #impact
