I was so pleased to see the students really embrace the challenge. Three weeks is such a short time to complete a research project but they managed it and the results were outstanding.

Lecturer in Marine Science (Remote Sensing)
It was a great experience working with cutting-edge technology and seeing what it was capable of.
It was a great project to get involved in as we’d never done machine learning before.
You’d never think in a marine degree that you’d be looking at things from space, but it was so interesting working with satellite images.
