Events

When it comes to the "Events", it's not about just attending, it's about taking the lead. I've organized and spoken at several events shaping and contributing to the tech landscape. Being a part of these gatherings isn't just a sideline role; it's about making a meaningful impact and sharing insights with fellow professionals, students, and enthusiasts.

A list of some of the events I am associated with:

Mentor at the Generative AI Hackathon by ABEGS and Etijah

Participated as a mentor in the Generative AI Hackathon organized by the Arab Bureau of Education for the Gulf States (ABEGS) in collaboration with Etijah Bahrain, aimed at the top-performing high school students from GCC states and Yemen. The event followed a 3-week virtual bootcamp that covered key topics like AI, Python programming, machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, generative learning, and prompt engineering. During the Hackathon, I played a key role in guiding 34 students as they developed their prototypes, helping shape their ideas, refine their approaches, and navigate technical challenges. I provided mentorship, answered questions, and facilitated creative problem-solving, ensuring students gained hands-on experience and deepened their understanding of generative AI.

TechFuture 2024 Summer Camp at Ahlia University

I led and delivered a 14-hour intensive course focusing on foundational concepts in artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms. As the lead instructor, I guided participants through a blend of theoretical knowledge, practical examples, and hands-on exercises, ensuring they gained a solid understanding of core principles and practical skills. My role involved creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment that catered to a diverse audience, fostering a deeper appreciation and understanding of AI technologies.

NGN's First Youth AI Camp.

I was in charge of delivering a dynamic youth-oriented boot camp hosted by NGN, which was designed to immerse participants in the worlds of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL). The course taught students how to use Python and its AI applications, as well as data analytics and deep learning. Notably, the programme drew international participants, demonstrating its international appeal. Attendees gained practical skills and job market insights through a combination of insightful lectures, hands-on workshops, and real-world applications, fostering a transformative learning experience. The course not only provided participants with useful technical knowledge, but it also inspired them with motivating success stories, assisting them on their journey to AI excellence.

TechFuture 2023 Summer Camp at Ahlia University

In the TechFuture Summer Camp at Ahlia University, I played a pivotal role in organizing and leading the event and especially one of the core paths, specifically the "AI & Deep Learning" track. Over the course of five weeks and 20 hours of intensive learning, I took on the responsibility of both guiding and instructing participants through foundational concepts of artificial intelligence and deep learning. Through theoretical insights, practical examples, and hands-on exercises, I ensured that participants gained a solid understanding of AI principles, Data Science, Machine Learning, and deep learning algorithms

NGN's Entrepreneurship Tech Camp.

I had a significant role in the "Entrepreneurship Tech Camp" hosted by the NGN Training Center. During the event, I conducted a session where I delved into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) from both technical and non-technical perspectives. I highlighted how AI can fuel entrepreneurship and innovation. By demystifying AI and showcasing its practical applications, I aimed to equip upcoming young entrepreneurs with insights and strategies to leverage AI for their future ventures. My contribution aligned with the camp's goal of fostering knowledge and connections among Bahraini youth in the entrepreneurship domain.

The Machine Learning Olympiad Manama 2023

The Machine Learning Olympiad 2023 in Bahrain offers a unique youth event combining fun and learning, featuring a data competition and a learning track with self-lessons, lectures, and workshops on AI, Data Science, and Machine Learning. I was an organizer of the Machine Learning Olympiad 2023, where I took on the responsibility of organizing and monitoring all five competitions. In addition to that, I had the privilege of delivering a session on sickit-learn, sharing my knowledge and engaging participants in an interactive learning experience.

Introduction to Machine Learning Workshop (Fablab bh)

I organised and delivered a beginner-friendly workshop in Fablab BH - Umm Al Hassam. 20 Seats were opened, and the seats were filled within 3 hours of opening the registrations.
