I have greatly benefited from the face-to-face program by engaging in direct interactions with experts and peers, which has deepened my understanding of complex topics. The hands-on activities and real-time feedback have enhanced my practical skills and boosted my confidence in applying what I have learned. Additionally, the opportunity to network and build relationships with professionals and fellow students has been invaluable for my personal and professional growth.

The face-to-face programme has been highly beneficial by providing direct interaction with instructors and peers, which facilitated immediate feedback and deeper discussions. This environment enhanced my understanding of complex AI and data science concepts through hands-on practice and collaborative learning. Additionally, it fostered networking opportunities, enabling connections with like-minded individuals and potential collaborators.
