Sessions

In this interactive session, Megabyte Society members tested their knowledge of AI through a Kahoot quiz, learning more about AI in the process. Towards the end of the session, they raced through Wikipedia pages in a tech-themed challenge. It was learning at full speed!

In this interactive session, members of the Megabyte Society got an inside look at how Crypthunt-style puzzles are created. Crypthunt, a digital treasure hunt known for its cryptic clues and tech-based challenges, has become one of the most exciting events of the year, and this time, students weren’t just solving it, they were designing it.

In this hands-on session, society members explored how AI sees, hears, and interacts with the world using fun and accessible Google AI Experiments. From drawing games to music generators, members directly experienced the power of machine learning.

Society members explored multiple tools across AI, even training their own model and presenting its functioning to the rest of the members. Members looked at multiple tools from the Meta FAIR and also used Seamless Language AI.

In the last session before the summer, we continued our theme of hackathons with a focus on the elements of a strong hackathon pitch. Society members were divided into teams, and brainstormed ideas and products based on the topics of healthcare and fitness. They came up with ideas ranging from AI-powered health monitoring devices to fitness apps that use computer vision to track workouts.

In the first session of the 'How to Hackathon' series, society members were given an introduction to the concept of hackathons, and the elements of a strong hackathon pitch. Members started by learning the process of ideating and pitching a product; they were given the topics of 'Gaming' and 'Education'.

Society members explored databases and SQL through an interactive session. They learned relational database fundamentals, query techniques, and security vulnerabilities. The session concluded with a practical challenge and a discussion on real-world applications.

In the last session before the summer, the theme of AI was wrapped up with a fun quiz about AI and emerging technologies. Topics ranged from language models to the ethical implications of AI. After each question, the topics covered were discussed by society members. We look forward to returning after the summer to work on new themes and projects.

In this session, participants explored hackathons and learned how to craft compelling pitches. Teams brainstormed innovative environmental tech solutions using a computer vision model, generating ideas from agriculture tools to biodiversity protection products.

In the first session, society members explored foundational AI concepts, including machine learning principles and AI categories. They built a computer vision model using Google Teachable Machine to classify recyclable materials and discussed AI limitations like accuracy and bias.
