What Does It Take For A Student To Become More Employable?

Meet Anjali, a curious and imaginative student of a college and IBM Skillsbuild. She was known among friends for always coming up with innovative solutions to everyday problems.

One day, a hackathon was announced at her college as part of the annual Tech Fest, and the theme of the hackathon that was part of the fest was "Technologies for a Sustainable World." Students were excited but also felt a bit overwhelmed by the challenge.

Anjali, however, saw this as an opportunity to showcase both analytical and creative thinking. She decided to create a project that blended technology, sustainability, and creativity. The idea was to develop a smart gardening system that used Al to monitor plant health and adjust water and nutrients accordingly.

With determination, Anjali started researching Al and machine learning from the IBM Skillsbuild platform. The more she learned, the more exciting the project became. But there were challenges along the way. Debugging the code was like solving a puzzle, requiring both analytical thinking to identify the issues and creative thinking to devise solutions.

As the final presentation of the hackathon approached, she faced a minor setback when the system's sensors stopped functioning correctly. With the every passing minute, Anjali had to brainstorm and quickly find a fix. She combined analytical and creative thinking with her knowledge of Al and ML and the result was a unique solution that involved recalibrating the sensors and using recycled materials to enhance the system's sustainability.
