"''No such thing, bad student. Only bad teacher.''" - Mr. Miyagi
- Days of the fellowship drive?
- Microsoft Winter School Lab TA information
I've hardly kept my LinkedIn up to date but I'm excited to announce that I've started working a 1 year long fellowship at The Coding School, an international non-profit specifically dedicated to teaching and training diverse student populations around the globe the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, quantum computing, and AI through code. The reach and impact of this organization is inspiring particularly the Qubit by Qubit program which has educated over 40,000 students and where I am helping to teach and develop updated curriculum & coded notebooks for the various Quantum & AI programs. I'm glad I was able to the contribute to the curriculum of Sydney Quantum Academy and the current program of the Microsoft Winter School where I am excited for hundreds of students to learn about running quantum algorithms on the Azure Platform. The best thing about working here so far is the highly supportive and inclusive work culture with fast-paced action as there truly is a lot of work to be done in this mission-driven work to train in quantum and AI. as well as the AWS TRAIN Program serving to educate professionals at HBCUs and community colleges. I'm happy and excited to contribute to the awesome team here while I continuing to research and develop my own code and contributions to the quantum industry. :)
The coolest thing is that education offers an environment for teams to work in a cross-company setting by learning about all the tools that are out there for efficient AI and quantum use. I hope more organizations continue to grow in this way and as a life-long learner, I hope I can teach some things along the way too to people that normally wouldn't know. I think this cross-corporation approach used to educate students is immensely useful in order to create a less divisive and more collaborative world and being able to introduce all the tools and tricks I've learned along way is something I am happy to do going forward that we can for curious technology learners will have huge impact in the years to come.
In particular, I am grateful to my freshman year computer science professor at the University of Connecticut Alexander Russell who taught us functional programming in LISP and the intro to cryptography class while ALSO teaching juijuitsu , so while students barely hung on by a thread in his difficult programming course he was also able to literally kick our butts to those also taking Juijitsu! He was awesome and also I'm grateful to my supervisor when I was an intern developer on the ML team under Gabriel Marques was the best boss I've ever had especially because he was such a good teacher to me. I took this approach with Charu and Brian this year and I am also glad they enjoyed their experience because it was derived from the experienced of being under Gabriel at Schrodinger. So a quick public thank you needs to be said to Gabriel Marques and my friend Peter Shenkin.
For those interested, I would highly recommend enrolling in the Qubit by Qubit program open to any one from high school to senior citizens to get a sense of how things are taught, perhaps you can be a part of changing the landscape for tomorrow.
As the saying goes, education isn't free, you have to pay attention.
(i'm pro-FOSS though)
