This one-hour introductory session is designed specifically to introduce students to the mentor, setting the stage for a productive learning journey in AI, IoT, or robotics. This session serves as a preliminary meeting to better understand the student’s academic background, professional experience, and specific interests within these fields, ensuring that subsequent classes are tailored to their goals.

During this session, students will have the opportunity to discuss their prior knowledge, experience level, and motivation for pursuing studies in AI, IoT, or robotics. Additionally, students are encouraged to share any targeted objectives they may have—whether they are aiming for a career in these areas, preparing for certification exams, or working toward mastery of certain technical skills.

The mentor will guide students through a structured discussion to assess their current standing, including a review of foundational concepts in their chosen field. The session may include a brief diagnostic exercise to evaluate the student’s grasp of key concepts, helping to identify areas of strength and any knowledge gaps that may need attention.

By the conclusion of the session, both the mentor and the student will have a clear understanding of the student’s learning needs, enabling the mentor to structure future lessons effectively. This introduction also provides an overview of the course structure, learning objectives, and what students can expect from ongoing sessions in AI, IoT, or robotics. This ensures that the educational experience aligns with each student’s individual aspirations and areas of interest.
