Through comprehensive cancer training datasets, the system learned to recognize subtle visual indicators that distinguish cancerous lesions from benign skin conditions.
Melanoma Detection & Analysis: The application can detect melanoma and other skin cancers while also analyzing melanin levels and skin protection factors. It identifies various cancer-causing indicators in skin tissue, providing users with detailed information about potential risk factors and the importance of melanin in protecting against UV damage.
Clinical-Grade Accuracy: With a 90% success ratio, the students developed a system capable of delivering results comparable to initial clinical screenings. This project showcases how young developers can create meaningful healthcare technology that could improve early detection rates and save lives by making preliminary cancer screening more accessible.
ML Financial Advisor
Developed by Alabhyaa Joshi and Rajveer Rajguru
This intelligent personal finance system combines machine learning with practical money management tools to help users make smarter financial decisions. The application features three core components that work together to provide comprehensive financial guidance.
Expense Tracker: Users can log and categorize their daily expenses, gaining clear visibility into spending patterns. The system automatically organizes transactions and provides insights into where money is being spent across different categories.
Savings Goals Target: The platform allows users to set specific financial goals and track progress toward them. Whether saving for a vacation, emergency fund, or major purchase, users can monitor their savings trajectory and receive recommendations on how to reach their targets faster.
K-Means Clustering Analysis: The machine learning component uses K-Means clustering to analyze spending behavior and group users with similar financial patterns. This enables personalized recommendations based on how users with comparable profiles successfully manage their finances, identify areas for potential savings, and detect unusual spending patterns that may require attention.
These projects demonstrate the ability to identify problems worth solving, implement advanced technical solutions, and understand the real-world impact of their work.

The visualization enables stakeholders to identify trends, optimize inventory management, and make informed decisions about product strategy and resource allocation across different markets.
Uber Driver Analytics
Developed by Rishaan Nair and Burhanuddin Miyajiwala
This dashboard visualizes driver activity patterns across geographic areas, analyzing trip volumes, earnings metrics, and efficiency indicators. The insights help fleet managers optimize driver utilization, understand market demand patterns, and make strategic decisions about resource deployment and driver incentives.
Building Mindset and Self-Awareness
While Cohort 3 focused on technical projects, Cohort 4 engaged in foundational work on personal development. Two workshops addressed mindset and self-awareness—skills that are essential for sustained success in any field and critical for effective leadership.
Growth Mindset Workshop
This workshop introduced the G-R-O-W Framework, a powerful coaching model that helps individuals structure their thinking and achieve their goals systematically. Students learned to distinguish between fixed and growth mindset—understanding that abilities can be developed through effort and learning, rather than being innate or unchangeable.
The G-R-O-W Framework consists of four key stages:
G - Goal: Define what you want to achieve with clarity and specificity. Students learned to set meaningful, measurable objectives rather than vague aspirations, establishing a clear target for their efforts.
R - Reality: Assess where you currently stand. This involves honest self-evaluation of your present situation, identifying strengths, recognizing limitations, and understanding the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
O - Options: Explore all possible pathways to reach your goal. Students practiced brainstorming multiple strategies, evaluating different approaches, and thinking creatively about solutions without immediately dismissing ideas.
W - Will: Commit to specific actions with accountability. This final stage transforms ideas into concrete steps, establishing what you will do, when you will do it, and how you will measure progress.
The session emphasized how self-talk influences performance and resilience. Students explored strategies for reframing challenges as opportunities for learning, managing setbacks constructively, and building persistence. These mental frameworks significantly impact how students respond to academic difficulty, competitive pressure, and complex problem-solving.
Self-Awareness and Personal Discovery Workshop
The second workshop employed the Johari Window Model, a psychological framework developed by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham that visualizes self-awareness through four quadrants. This model helps individuals understand the relationship between self-perception and how others see them, creating opportunities for personal growth and improved communication.
The Johari Window divides self-awareness into four areas:
Open Area (Arena): Traits and behaviors known to both yourself and others. This represents transparent communication and mutual understanding. Expanding this area leads to more authentic relationships and effective collaboration.
Blind Spot: Characteristics that others see in you but you don't recognize in yourself. These might include unconscious habits, body language, or the impact you have on others. Feedback from peers helps uncover this quadrant.
Hidden Area (Façade): Things you know about yourself but choose not to share with others. This might include fears, insecurities, private aspirations, or past experiences. Strategic self-disclosure can build trust and deepen connections.
Unknown Area: Aspects of yourself that neither you nor others are aware of—untapped potential, hidden talents, or unconscious patterns. Discovery happens through new experiences, challenges, and deep self-reflection.
Through reflective exercises and interactive activities, students examined their own communication patterns, decision-making tendencies, and interpersonal strengths. They learned that expanding the "Open Area" through both self-disclosure and seeking feedback creates stronger relationships and better self-understanding. Self-knowledge directly impacts effectiveness in relationships, teamwork, and leadership. By understanding their own preferences and patterns, students can make more intentional choices about how they engage with peers, approach challenges, and position themselves for future opportunities.
