participating in AI Code-In?

Hi all, We got an invitation to participate in AI Code-In ( https://aicode-in.github.io/AICode-In/). It's a new initiative, seems a bit GSoC like, but created by and for middle/high schoolers. We'd have to create tasks to work on (more like tagging/creation actionable issues than a full project), and provide some mentoring bandwidth. It seems well-organized and because it's a new initiative it may be smaller and more "early adopter" than GSoC. Would anyone be interested to participate as a mentor and/or lead the NumPy organization participation? Cheers, Ralf

Hi Ralf , I'd be glad and more than interested to take part in CodeIn as a Mentor if there is no issue . Thanks , Mrinal On Sat, 1 Aug, 2020, 4:52 pm Ralf Gommers, <ralf.gommers@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Ralf , I have quite some experience in Computer Vision where I developed a model to detect different type of currency notes and use object detection to augment 3d objects on these currency notes , there I relied up opencv python libraries and NumPy arrays for detection . I'd like to apply for mentoring role . https://github.com/mrityagi/ARnote Here is the link to my repo Thanks , Mrinal On Sat, 1 Aug, 2020, 4:55 pm Saber Tooth, <sabertooth2022@gmail.com> wrote:

Hey Ralf, This is great, I would love to participate as a mentor in this wonderful opportunity. Brief about me: I am well experienced in Computer Vision as well as in NLP. I have done Tensorflow-in-Practice Specialization, How to win kaggle Competitions, NLP Specialization (ongoing) courses. I have participated in kaggle competitions and have studied 3 courses of Data Science in my college. Also, presently I'm working as a mentee in SPDX community ( under Linux Foundation) via CommunityBridge Mentorship program by Linux Foundation. I also a main contributor in DFFML (dataflow facilitator for Machine Learning) org under PSF. Thanks, would love to hear from you soon.

Hi, At first sight, the competition element seems a bit weird approach for the open source setting. Do you see a way how it can work out well? (Google also has a code-in for HS students. Has numpy ever tried it? (all the mentors I talked to at the last gsoc summit said it takes more time to mentor than gsoc, but I guess maybe it's partly due to the fact that is different, if we count all the pre-coding period efforts put into gsoc by the wider community, it also adds up significantly)).
