Program Highlights:
The event was organized by the Training and Placement Cell in collaboration with the Department of Artificial Intelligence, Faculty of Science & Technology, Vishwakarma University.The session was conducted by Aditya Dambale and Rohidas Shelar who guided students on The IBM SkillsBuild for College program provided students with access to the IBM Cloud platform, enabling them to gain hands-on experience with cloud-based applications widely used across industries. The training focused on emerging technologies such as data science, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, ensuring that students acquired knowledge in high-demand domains. A practical learning approach was adopted through a blend of online courses, interactive sessions, and real-world projects using IBM Watson Studio, which helped students strengthen their problem-solving and analytical skills. Participants were introduced to Large Language Models (LLMs), prompting techniques, and data analytics. The hands-on activities included crop recommendation using Watson Machine Learning with AutoAI, creating Jupyter notebooks with IBM Watson Studio, data refinement using IBM Data Refinery, and building a chatbot for college admissions with Watsonx Assistant. Additional sessions covered Prompt Lab with IBM Granite LLM, Agentic AI, and a discussion on IBM Events and Project-Based Learning (PBL), providing practical exposure to real-world AI and cloud applications.
