I thought this presentation was incredibly interesting. The quality of the research was very evident and I like how they included their sources in the video (we just included them in the description). They clearly divided the work in a way that makes sense for the size of their team. The only constructive criticism I have is that the video is a little dry but, that honestly might be appropriate for this type of video.

Bridging the Digital Divide

This video essentially discussed the recent developments in satellite internet. How reusable rockets and other related technology have made internet much more affordable in the rural parts of the world. Each team member took turns narrating a set of slides which shows that they had a great deal of teamwork while working on this project. As far as constructive criticism goes, I get the feeling that our team might be the odd one out when it comes to not using slides. So, to avoid repeating myself, I'll say that maybe the simple video isn't quite simple enough to rapture the attention of middle schoolers. Idk, or maybe these middle schoolers go to a magnet school and are pretty smart. Who knows!

Using AI to Prevent CyberAttacks

This group discussed AI's role in cyber security. Unfortunately, my history with cybersecurity is a little strenuous at best. However, it is really cool to see that AI could potentially be used to alleviate some of the pressure cyber security teams put on the company network users by using behavior analytics instead of a thousand verification methods.

BUT, that's neither here nor there.

In terms of constructive criticism I will mention that these videos need audio balancing. My team also struggled with this because each of us have different audio recording equipment. Good chance to leverage software to make sure each team member is audible without the viewer having to adjust the volume.

Part 2: Keep Up With Your Learning Journal

So, this week we were mostly working on these videos. It honestly looks like we clearly spent wayyyyyyy too much time and effort making our video. I am honestly afraid that our video, while edited very nicely, is not as professional as the ones I reviewed! We did this because during our meeting with our teachers we were asked to make our videos slightly entertaining instead of reading off slides.

Hopefully, standing out this much does not hurt!
