Participants learned how artificial intelligence can assist with data analysis, idea generation, and academic writing—while also discussing the ethical use of AI and the importance of maintaining research integrity.
Another informative session guided students through emerging academic disciplines, including data science, artificial intelligence, and renewable energy engineering. This workshop encouraged attendees to align their academic paths with their interests and future job market trends, offering practical insights into integrating traditional learning with next-generation skills.
The final workshop of the exhibition focused on fostering a growth mindset, helping students understand the importance of optimism, resilience, and lifelong learning.
