BRAC University Hackathon, Project & Higher Study Society

📢Special Announcement "BUHPHSS Skill Builder (March 1- December 31, 2023)"

Yes, it's your Mid week but we believe those who learn will learn.

As we are expanding our Hackathon Project and Higher Study Society, my goal was always to create a bunch of skilled fellows in my own campus.

So, our lead, Mitul Shahriyar will train students in:
->Machine learning
->AI
->Deep learning NLP
->DSA
->DevOps
->Cloud

His content will be basically on YouTube and he has started working on those.

▶️ Now if you are learning
->Web Development
->App Development
->Block chain
->Data Science
or, want to help me in my tech stacks , kindly comment.

▶️ Responsibility
We will assign you as a lead of that technology and you will learn and help other learners throughout the next few months.

▶️ We want our students learn more and more awesome technologies like Block chain, Various language frameworks, Data science and many more.

Why should you do it?
As we are expanding in Public and more private universities, we will arrange a big hackathon soon. It's your chance to become the champion team.

▶️ Check out the docs to start your learnings:

Our monthly Big Updates!

A few big updates from our end:
We are expanding the Hackathon Project and Higher Study Society at reputed public and private universities.

So, the focus is that, at public universities, students do have good and awesome projects, and there are a bunch of folks learning things deeply. They will teach their own students and you too.
The same goes for private universities.

✅ Our goals:

▶️ We would like to arrange hackathon nationally at a certain time.
▶️ We would like students from different universities research together or work together.

We have personally seen CS or CSE students only go for CP or development. Although these are absolutely awesome, surely there are more awesome fields with a 10x starting salary.
Let's learn them and change our country.

2. From now on, you will see new content each week on our YouTube channel.

Type of contents:

▶️ DevOps : Here I will cover all you need, from basic level knowledge to pro level knowledge.

▶️ Machine learning, AI, Deep learning:

Here, first you will see me covering all the mathematical concepts covered for ML. For example: linear algebra; probability; statistics; calculus.
Then ML theories and then coding part. Finally research paper reading.

▶️ Cloud: I will cover basic cloud knowledge and also prepare you for certifications in AWS, Azure, and GCP.

▶️ Problem Solving: Here, you will see me creating content on DSAs and then solving problems using those DSAs.
My main focus will be solving 170 problem from Algoexpert and at the same time problems on Leetcode.

Yes, you can solve anything for sure but the approach to solve a problem is much more important.

🛑Note: Each week, we will have a minimum of 1 piece of content uploaded.
So, this will take time, but yes, everything will be focused on beginners.

Introducing "ML Paper Reading Club " & "ML Math Club" for everyone.

Hey folks! As you know, our group is growing rapidly, and surely we have some awesome plans for you.

▶️ Right now, we have started to build hackathon projects and higher education societies in almost 10 more universities, like Dhaka University, RUET, CUET, SUST, and many more. Our target is to help those students who really want to learn awesome technologies.

So, I am sharing one of the programs by Google to make you learn and master Machine learning.

✅ You can apply for those, but this is not like university clubs. There is no room for general members.
▶️ I think you are familiar with ChatGPT. Have you ever thought to build something like this? Are you a user and want to remain one? Or do you want to learn machine learning and help shape the future of startups?

▶️ If you are a person who has already worked with research papers or currently reading those, you can join the "ML Paper Reading Club" by Google.

You can read out those papers and explain how to read papers and what is the summary. We hope that this will make reading research papers interesting to newbies.

▶️ Moreover, if you are new to Machine learning, surely you need to learn Mathematics for Machine learning.

Then you can start learning the coding portion of Machine learning.

So, if you want to learn mathematics for Machine learning and then teach others, you can join the "ML Math Club".

Kindly fill out the form only if you are eager to take sessions. It's not like university clubs but rather a group of learners who will learn and teach others.
But yes, you alone won't take all of the sessions.

Deadline to register: 24th February, 2023

We have started building hackathon projects and higher study society communities in other universities too.

▶️ Dhaka University (DU) and Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) have already confirmed plans to create one.

▶️ Port City International University, BUBT, AUST, IUBAT, and others are in the process.

✅ If you want to include your university, feel free to comment here.

Let's change the university communities together.
