The final week – ”Wow” (Amira Wallace)

After 5 weeks of excitement and learning, we finally made it to the end of it. We have learned a lot about machine learning, we helped each other. My teammates showed support and they were helpful. 

Joining PATHS- UP was a great experience I was lucky when Allen emailed me at the last minute before the start of the program to let me know about this opportunity. 

There are great teachers every year who apply for this program and I was one of the lucky ones to get selected to join this program.

Also, Allen showed professionalism during the program and understanding I would like to be part of other programs in the future and participate in.

On Friday we all presented what we have learned even I was so nervous I was so close to stop presenting and leave but if I was not nervous I would have totally nailed it.

 On the other hand, Micheal, Alonzo, Ms.Sheryl, Daniel, Derek, and Al did an amazing job presenting and summarizing their journey in a form of a slide deck;  I have enjoyed listening to them and learning from them during their presentations. Also, i want to thank our mentor Tianyi she helped up a lot and gave us so many ideas on how to complete the research about machine learning.
