Community Engagement

I speak to classrooms, teams and professional communities about Tech & AI from the perspective of someone who is an engineer building with it. My sessions make the technology easier to understand, more useful in practice and give people a clearer sense of how to use it well.

KRMM School

At KRMM, I started with a simple question: how does AI learn? We looked at everyday examples, tried an activity focused on pre-training that aimed to teach how classification works and spoke about prompting, automation as well as where AI is heading. I wanted students to see that curiosity matters. Better questions lead to better answers and better ideas.

AI workshop

Sankara School

At Sankara School, we had a more classroom-style conversation about what happens behind the tools students already use. We spoke about patterns, predictions/next-token prediction, image classification and how prompts shape the answers we get. The goal was to make AI feel understandable and give students the confidence to ask questions about it.

AI Workshop

Stratovate Ignite

At Stratovate Ignite, I led an AI for Everyone session for students and members of the wider community. We spoke about where AI shows up in daily life, how models learn and what they cannot do well. I also covered bias, privacy, safety and why critical thinking still matters when AI can give an answer so quickly.
