The students received a number of rich lectures that gave them experiences and skills that would help them in their next journey during their university studies..
The camp was recently launched under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Ahmed bin Fahd bin Salman, Deputy Governor of the Eastern Province, and is organized by the Bena Association for Orphan Care in the Eastern Province, in strategic partnership with King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, and will continue until next Saturday.For cybersecurity, programming, and drones, an introduction was given to the concepts of social engineering and phishing, as well as some advice and guidance in enhancing personal protection from dangers related to cybersecurity. It also addressed the definition of network security and how to safely connect to the network. The types of hackers, the goals of hackers, the steps to infiltrate networks, and methods and methods of defense on the other hand were also clarified. In the cybersecurity course lectures, trainees learned about the types of cyberattacks to which network users are exposed, such as a backdoor attack, a denial-of-service attack, and a denial-of-service attack.Exploiting vulnerabilities, man-in-the-middle attack, and brute force attack.
Artificial Intelligence
As for artificial intelligence and its applications with regard to the theoretical aspect of this track, an introductory overview was presented that contained the definition of the concept of artificial intelligence as a technology capable of learning, inferring and simulating like humans and knowing how to solve problems and verify information. The trainees were introduced to the concept of “machine” learning and an explanation of its basic types and applications. Today’s lecture includedThe third in the Artificial Intelligence track is introducing wave learning techniques and non-wave learning techniques.
Internet of Things
In the Internet of Things track, the concept of the Internet of Things was introduced, which is a network of physical things that contain sensors, programs, and other technologies for the purpose of communicating and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet. Some applications of the Internet of Things in practical life were also discussed, and the trainees learned about the basic components of the Internet and types of communication.For the Internet of Things, such as broadband communication, cellular communication, satellite, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Data Science
The goal of the data science track is to introduce male and female students to what data is, how it is accessed, and its importance in studying phenomena and making decisions. The trainees learned about the types of data (traditional - huge), and their various sources such as social networking sites, and the introduction to statistical concepts such as the arithmetic mean, median,And the pattern.
Renewable energy
In the renewable energy track, students received information about the theoretical and practical aspects, and included introducing some general concepts about energy and its basic sources, which are divided into non-renewable energy and renewable energy.In addition to some scientific concepts related to energy, such as current, potential difference, and resistance, it included renewable energy sources, namely solar energy. It also included an introduction to the basics of radiation from the sun, and techniques for producing solar energy through photovoltaic panels.
The renewable energy track included an explanation of the concept of energy conservation, as well as an introduction to the energy conservation pyramid, in addition to an introduction to the efficiency of electrical appliances.
Financial Awareness
As for the enrichment track, male and female students learned about (financial awareness), and the content of the lecture was prepared within the “Riyali Financial Awareness” program, which is one of the most prominent programs launched by the “SEDCO” group to direct the necessary skills to entrepreneurs.The lecturer began by mentioning the four pillars on which financial awareness depends, which are financial planning, saving, investment, and borrowing.
