This is a very open session. I hope to help you with your CS questions and projects. I can also go over Computer Science Career Advice.

Hi everyone! I’m Ashvik , and I’m excited to host this AI Fundamentals series. I’m a rising senior in high school with over five years of experience in coding, AI, and machine learning. Alongside completing AP Computer Science, I’ve deepened my knowledge through AI programs at Harvard, Cambridge, and others, and recently earned NVIDIA’s Professional Certifications in AI. For the last two years, I’ve been building an AI-powered mental health companion that supports underserved teens using tools like computer vision, deep learning, and voice analysis and am excited for its upcoming launch next month. I’ve also been working on research with professors on projects at the intersection of AI, healthcare, and quantum computing. In this series, I’ll introduce you to the world of AI, help you start thinking like a builder, and hopefully show you how AI can be used to make a real impact.

In this series, I will be discussing Competitive Programming basics. No previous experience is required. If you are simply Interested in Computer Science, Competitive Programming is a great way to practice your interest and get better! This is mostly meant for USACO Bronze competitors, or Codeforces ratings 800-1000.

Each week, we will go over a different topic that directly correlates to the AP CSP curriculum. These topics can range from reading and interpreting code, going over AP CSP MCQ practice questions, as well as going over the performance task component of the exam. This class is intended for students who have never done anything related to CS but are taking the AP class and exam. However, even if you do have previous CS or AP experience, you are still welcome to join!
