Summer Workshop 2023 is an interactive program that integrates theory into practice. Students gain valuable industry insights and knowledge through lectures and have opportunities to hone their computing skills through hands-on experience in projects.

The programme is divided into 2 DISTINCT PHASES where participants get an overview of the courses in their respective clusters through synchronous online introductory lectures in PHASE 1 , and immerse in the full face-to-face learning experience when they come over to NUS for the advanced seminars and project work development in PHASE 2 . A detailed programme schedule will be sent to students after their participation is confirmed.

PHASE 1 (14 May - 28 May 2023)

From May, you will embark on the first phase of the workshop. This intensive learning phase features live lectures delivered online. You will be given an NUS account to access learning platforms such as Zoom and Canvas. Your professors will share their expertise through each of their own unique teaching styles. While embarking on this interactive virtual learning experience, you would gain an overall understanding of each of the courses before you dive into your projects.

At the application stage, each student will be assigned to a cluster. In Phase 1, students will attend the introductory lectures of the courses in their respective cluster. The lectures will be held on Sundays (14 May, 21 May and 28 May) . For the Cloud, Security, IoT & AI cluster and the Media, Analytics & AI cluster, each course will have a half-day lecture , either in the morning or afternoon. For the X-Cluster, each course will have a full-day lecture.

Lecture attendance is compulsory as your attendance will determine your eligibility for a particular course at the course selection stage in June. After which, you may also be given mini assessments or quizzes which will assist the professors in determining your suitability for their courses.

In June, after completing the lectures, you will then rank your course preferences within the cluster to do a project. Courses are then assigned based on your preference, course availability, attendance, performance in your preferred course and other relevant factors.

PHASE 2 (4 July - 26 July 2023)

After you have been assgined to a course, you will be split into classes for your respective courses for your projects.

Launching into the second phase, you will be travelling to NUS and begin your exciting on-campus learning journey with us! You will start with advanced seminars where you will gain deeper insight into your assigned course as you ready yourself for the projects. You will then be forming into project groups - each group is then given ample time to brainstorm and execute their projects. You will also be able to consult your respective professors and teaching assistants who will guide you through the project development.

SHOWCASE & AWARD CEREMONY (25 July 2023)

All your hard work will ultimately culminate in a showcase where you will exhibit your projects. The showcase is a competition where a certificate of achievement and prizes will be awarded to the winning projects.

You will present and demonstrate the newly-found skills and knowledge you have picked up throughout the programme to professors and your fellow workshop participants. This is a great opportunity to take a look at what your fellow peers have done and learn from each other.

Upon concluding the showcase, you will wrap up your learning journey in a farewell dinner and award ceremony, which will be the final stop of the workshop!
