AI/ML Geniushub July Internships

July 2025

As part of a 1-month training and internship programme, I was involved in participating in the July Internships of Geniushub. The learning I had ranged from different types of AI, to how we apply the AI in real-life. I learnt about AI system design and its importance over just knowing how to code AI. With this design thinking, I was involved in making multiple minor projects and a key major project.

Kukudkoo Fest 2025

9th of November 2025

Being at the Kukdukoo fest and talking to crowds on behalf of our school was quite an experience. It taught me how pitching an idea is not something static--it changes with time of day, how hungry they are and...even how you utter the first word of your pitch. By being like a salesman for the day--I learnt--live and unfiltered...how to sell anything within 10 seconds.

Guiding Parents: PTM

20th December 2025

On the 20th of December, 2025, I was involved in a 5-people team to guide parents in our school PTM day to ensure they feel welcomed. A key learning I had was how simple gestures of kindess could have a big impact and how they can make people more open to do more work in turn(e.g. fill a long feedback form).

Special Mention @ IIT-B Techfest 2025

21st - 25th December, 2025

From the 21st to 22nd of December, I was involved in the Aarohan challenge at IIT Techfest(Asia's Largest Science and Technology Festival) at IIT Bombay. I presented AdaptEd as a solution--however, with a lack of time before the presentation, I did not have the time to make demos or prototypes. The first day was intimidating, with everyone around me being graduates pursuing degrees--and there I was, a 11th grader with AdaptEd as a solution. What set me apart was my foundational and systemic way of thinking. With no demos or prototypes, judges couldn't qualify me for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place--but instead, created the (only) special mention award for the competition, which AdaptEd received.
