OurCS@DFW participants will be placed into parallel research workshops. Each workshop is supervised by a researcher and focuses on a specific topic. See the list of projects.
Over the course of the event, students will:
- Learn the life cycle of a small research project, including background principles, programming tools and libraries, project design, project implementation, experiment and evaluation, and preparation of presentations
- Collaborate with other students in workshops that use tutorial-style learning materials and feature hands-on team projects prepared by the supervising researchers
- Participate in activities such as a keynote speech, panels, mentoring and advising about graduate studies and career pathways, community building, and social activities
- Present their work at the one-day UTA Student Computing Research Festival (SCRF)
OurCS@DFW also features a pre-event tutorial on Introduction to Python and a Google TensorFlow Machine Learning Tutorial. See the details about these tutorials.
