13th AUS Higheschool Computing Camp

"Even during these challenging times, AUS has not failed to provide an outstanding Computing camp conducted by the CSE department in AUS. These 6 days were like a journey where the camp provided me an insight into the basic fields of computer science and engineering, each being introduced in a very well and organized manner. All the professors were very friendly and they ensure that everyone understood the concept and that no one is left behind. Overall this camp was mind-blowing and it helped me to get a broad image of the computer science and engineering field, and how there are a lot of different majors I can opt for in Computer Science at AUS as AUS has specialized courses in each field in Computer Science. Surely, this camp will be an experience that will help me throughout my future and as always, AUS exceeds our expectations. Thank you AUS team! "

Day 6-Machine Learning

During the last day of the camp, we have been introduced to Artifical information and machine learning. We also learnt about different types of machine learning and methods of algorithim and how they are taught.

Day 6

13th AUS Computing Camp

The 13th AUS High School Computing Camp is an online educational and entertaining event, targeted at UAE resident students between grades 10-12. During the camp, students will engage in a series of experiments and hands-on activities, related to various topics in Computer Science and Engineering. Students will also explore new grounds of science, and develop essential skills necessary for their future University life.

Camp Highlights: • Programming in Python: Algorithms, Variables, Control and Conditional Statements, Loops. • Smart Home Development: Programming IoT devices and Basics of Building a Smart Home. • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): Introduction to AI and ML with practical examples. • Mobile Application Development: Basics of Building Mobile Apps. • Computer Networks: Basics of Building and Configuring a Computer Network. • Digital Systems Design: Boolean Logic Principals, Basics of Building a Computer and accompanying skills. All participants that complete the camp will receive an electronic Certificate of Participation from the Computer Science and Engineering Department (CSE) at the American University of Sharjah (AUS).
