    At the Summer Learning Sprint, we just ran the Technical session where we were joined by the amazing Nasser Ebrahim and Dr. Alex Osadchyy who spoke on IBM z16 Hardware and their roles as solution architects. The IBM zSystems Student Ambassadors who attended, were able to gain:

    • Knowledge on IBM z16 Hardware
    • Access to Linux VM in IBM LinuxONE Community Cloud
    • The opportunity to meet experienced leaders like Nasser Ebrahim and Dr. Alex Osadchyy. 
    • Network with other global ambassadors
    • Understand the role of an IBM zSystems solutions architect at IBM
    • AI live in action
    • The in-demand skills for IBM zSystems

    We asked those who attended to share what their takeaways were from the session:

    • What did you enjoy the most about the session?
    • What fascinates you the most about the speaker's role at IBM?
    • What are your key takeaways?

    Student optional reply format:

    I’m thrilled to have just attended the [session] with [ambassador/speaker]. Takeaways I had from attending this session were…

    I would say that the most interesting part of this session was to learn how AI and machine learning was integrated in the IBM mainframes. I know that AI is such a hot topic right now, so to learn How it was being implemented in our day to day life is pretty cool.

    This session with speakers Mr. Nasser and Mr. Alex was highly informative. I was very thrilled to see how IBM Z Systems provides us the ability to scale and deploy our machine learning models with great flexibility in regards to where we code and train our data. This is such a good head start for students looking to immerse in the world of AI.

    I'm thrilled to have just attended the Technical Session taken by Nasser Ebrahim and Dr. Alex Osadchyy. Takeaways I had from attending this session were the importance of Data Analytics and AI in transactional workloads and various technologies used to complete the task. I also got to know about ONXX (Open Neural Network Exchange), an open source artificial intelligence ecosystem in IBM zSystems.

      Thank you so much for this incredible session with two great speakers.
      It was a session with a lot of new information to learn, I liked the way you explained concepts like AI portfolio and IBM's data on IBM Zsystems. I liked to see the practical part of IBM Linux one community cloud.

      I really enjoyed the session with Nasser and Dr. Alex, what struck me the most was understanding just how many tools are available to us through LinuxONE. I haven't personally looked into machine learning that much but the ease of access for learning is incredible! I'll definitely be looking through the tools later.

      As someone with little prior experience in enterprise computing, learning about real-life examples of how AI/ML are being used commercially with IBM zSystems (particularly with Dr. Alex's demo with CC churning) was certainly helpful at getting a better sense for the potential these technologies have for us in the near-future.

      Hi, 
      So i was very excited to know more about this session, and I was kinda lost in all of resources available,
      but now I guess I have the map needed to begin! and all thanks for you'll
      and my main takeaway from this is the motivation to pursue my learning in this topic, since I have a big vision to achieve through AI technology.

      thank you again!
