I started off the morning finally catching up on some of these blog posts. Whoops! It just gets very busy when I'm working in the eScience center, which is good, but a challenge to writing daily blog updates. After catching up on downloading GraphLab and ODL, I went back over the the CSE building for the first time in about a week to meet with Anat and Zhitao about our projects. Anat also announced to us that she wants us to help her make these engineering start up kits that she's going to use in workshops with the visiting high-schoolers. I'm really excited about it because it sounds cool, and honestly I know just about nothing about engineering since I have always stayed on the programming side of computer science. With that, at our meeting next week we are supposed to have a tutorial with Anat about 3D printing, which we'll use to make the different parts and pieces. I'm looking forward to it.
Back at eScience, we had a GraphLab tutorial that was pretty cool because it outlined the importance and gave an overview of machine learning. I don't have much experience dealing with machine learning, but I'm excited to learn more about it.
After lunch we met with the ALVA students for the first time! That was fun. We did a scavenger hunt in our project group, and we were the first ones to make it back so we won! Nic is the ALVA student assigned to our group, and he seems like a nice guy. We tried to catch him up to speed, but I'm worried he might start feeling a little overwhelmed soon since there are just so many complexities in our problem and project.
Our last workshop of the day went over how to create pages and blog pages from github. I had never heard of Jekyll before, so it was very informative, but I don't think I'll be using any of it for this project since I already have this blog here.
At the end of the day, I worked with my team.
