Report on the AI Summer Camp 2018（Global Challenge I）

The AI Summer Camp 2018 took place from July 31st to August 10th at Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam. Each participating student reported on their impressions of the event.

The reports covered the students' self-established goals for the event, the Cultural Lectures, as well as the results, fruits of leadership, and retrospection on the Aideathon. All reports were accompanied with pictures from the event.

The majority of students improved their communication skills while interacting with local Vietnamese staff and students. The Cultural Lectures and Aideathon focused on cultural differences, increasing the opportunity for an interaction with the local students. The event was rounded up by the chance to visit local factories.

Report on Research Internships

In a research internship, students visit a business and engage in a research project. There, they can experience the structure and management of enterprise research facilities. This time, one student reported on his research internship. Ahmad Thuraya Kaadan (1st inaugural class) joined the research at Challenergy Inc., engaging in research for their product "Magnus × Vertical Axis, Next Generation Wind Turbine." Integrating a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model into the analyses, he could improve the efficiency of the wind power generation. Furthermore, he experienced field work on Ishigaki Island, where he studied the construction of wind power generators.

An overview of the student, their internship location, and research topic, is shown below.
