Flexible

My learners are equipped to tackle projects in machine learning and statistical learning, having gained proficiency in Python and R. They have engaged with several hands-on courses covering machine learning, statistical data analysis, SQL and database management, Tableau dashboard creation, data engineering, and big data. I am seeking internship projects that will help them apply their skills as part of their data science master’s program. Please note that learners will register for their internship between May and August 2025. If you wish to start working with them during this period, it would be ideal.

Dear Alex and Yingchao, I would like to thank the Saskatchewan team for the work they did this semester designing the SLEDSS personalized profile assessments. The team was able to overcome a variety of challenges to meet the project requirements in a very short period of time. They were especially responsive in addressing the design feedback that I provided each week. While we are very pleased with the work done by the full team, we would like to offer special thanks to Ton Nguyen and Huynh Nhi Do for their efforts to guide and support the team. Because this was a team project, I did not have a lot of visibility into each person's contribution, but I will provide feedback below on specific deliverables that can be matched to individual students. The following identifies the project deliverables I proposed on January 21st: 1. A document that defines the Kin-Keepers Common Look and Feel User Interface based on the target user, namely the Baby Boomer generation. a. Feedback Score: 0 b. The Team did not produce a document for the Common Look and Feel User Interface, however, this objective was achieved with the design template based on the home page and the Socialization Assessment, as described below. 2. A Template for UI Design that is subsequently applied to the SLEDSS tools a. Feedback Score: 10 b. As noted above, the Socialization Assessment became the template for the other assessment tools to follow and functioned as the common look and feel user interface document. c. The interface design for this component of SLEDSS was a team effort. The objective was to establish the common look and feel of the interfaces for all the assessments. We spent a few weeks focused on this design and the team did a good job addressing my feedback. d. I believe that Ton Nguyen and Huynh Nhi Do deserve a lot of credit for establishing the common look and feel of the user interface, and also for leading the team throughout the project 3. Design digital tools for the following six SLEDSS Assessments based on Paper and Pencil tests previously identified by another project team at Cape Breton University. a. Socialization Assessment Tool: Score 10  This was the first tool designed by the team, as noted above.  The first delivery was made on February 10th.  A new SLEDSS logo was delivered on February 18th  Final template delivered on March 3rd. b. Stress Assessment Tool: Score 10  Initial delivery on 2/24/25; designed by Ton Nguyen.  Ton put in extra effort to get a draft version of the Stress tool designed as the team was prepping for mid-terms, including an update of the Stress tool on 3/3/24. The team then took a break from the project to focus on mid-terms. c. Diet Assessment Tool: Score 10  Initial delivery on 3/17/25; design by Huynh Nhi Do  Feedback on this design included updates to the BMI test and the need to use pictures of the elderly, not younger people. All comments were addressed in the following update. d. Exercise Assessment Tool: Score 10  Initial delivery on 3/17/25, designed by Khoi Tran  Feedback on this design included the need to follow the common template design and simplify the user interface. All comments were addressed in the following update. e. Sleep Assessment Tool: Score 10  Initial delivery on 3/17/25, I believe that this was designed by Juwon Anjorin.  We switched to a different paper/pencil test because the one identified by the Cape Breton team was not sufficient. Similar comments were provided regarding adherence to the common design template. f. Learning Assessment Tool: Score 7  Initial and final delivery of this tool occurred on 3/24/25.  This design came right at the end of the project. It followed the common design template but we did not have time to discuss any changes. 4. Stretch deliverable: re-implement one or more tools using the new interface design. The team did not have the opportunity to implement any of the assessment tools, however, I did show them the preliminary implementation done by our developer working on the SLEDSS project. Kin-Keepers agrees to conclude the project. We are happy with the work that the team completed and are in the process of implementing the designs they produced. The only drawback of their work was that they changed design tools at the beginning of the project, from Figma to Canva. I was not aware of this change until the end of the project. This change meant we had to manually implement the design when it would have been much faster to generate front-end code using Figma. That being said, I believe the team earned an overall score of 9 out of 10, with a special mention of the leadership provided by Ton Nguyen. I will send a separate email about individual participation in the AI Agentic services we are focusing on next. As I mentioned before, this will be individual learning for those who want to participate. We are using the following free online training which I think would be very beneficial to your students.
