12th Annual MSU Science Festival: Our lab hosted an engaging event as part of the MSU Science Festival, which is a free annual celebration of science, fueled by some of the basic elements essential to scientific inquiry: curiosity, wonder, and discovery. Our booth provided a fun and hands-on learning experience, helping learners of all ages understand the concept of normal distribution through fun and interactive games.

As part of this program, I had the privilege of supervising an undergraduate research project titled “March Machine Learning Mania 2024,” fostering innovation and exploration in the realm of machine learning.
