The School of Computer Sciences, USM holds a workshop for the first year students every year, to equip them with valuable soft skills and to motivate them in their studies in the upcoming years. I was given the opportunity to host this workshop for three semesters, whereby I brought speakers from start-up companies such as Piktochart, Telebort and Poladrone, as well as motivational speakers and trainers to give talks to the students.
As part of a community outreach program by the School of Computer Sciences, USM, I conducted a simple programming workshop for the primary school children at the Tangkai Cermin Orang Asli settlement. It was a unique experience because I went into the class expecting to teach them simple drag-and-drop scripting but instead had to start off by teaching them how to use a computer mouse. It was a humbling experience and a load of fun. The students did amazing and loved the sessions. They even told me that they wanted to do it again the next day. I would love to organise this workshop again if I were to be given the opportunity.
In 2018, I led one of two teams from the School of Computer Sciences, USM to compete in the National Instruments Autonomous Robotics Competition. Despite having no engineering or hardware knowledge, our team managed to get into the semifinals and competed against teams from the engineering campus. Although we didn't win, it was a good experience for the students. This year, I am leading yet another team for the 2019 competition.
