“Being an ELITE Tech Live Instructor was pivotal in kick-starting my career journey in tech, as teaching courses such as Deep Learning for Smart Cities piqued my interest in machine learning, and challenged me to truly develop an intuitive understanding of the material so that I could deliver them in an engaging manner. I also gained invaluable experience communicating with students from diverse backgrounds, honing the soft skills and adaptability essential to my subsequent internships working in industry.”

We are so proud of our Rice ELITE Tech Live Instructors! Victoria Liu, a junior in computer science, worked at Rice ELITE Tech in 2024, and this summer she will begin an internship at Visa!
