❝ I had an incredible learning experience during my journey with CWB. Alongside exploring cutting-edge trends like GenAI, Retrieval Augmented Generation, and LLMs, the program provided hands on opportunities through hackathons and engaging meetups. Collaborating with peers and experts during these events deepened my understanding of document processing, text embedding creation, and modern technologies. ❞
