Creative Communicator @ Hitch2049:
Peter Peng, class of 2020, Dulles High School Math and Science Academy
Peter joined the Hitch2049 VVIP program as an advanced junior high school student from Houston, Texas. While being the founder of the AI Club at his school and completing the AP course in CS, his most pressing desire was to understand the practical use of CS and AI in real life. As Peter also has a strong interest in business, practicality and product-market-fit of any technology are essential. Hitch2049’s counselor was able to identify his pain points and provided him with a curriculum that specifically focused on the skills and knowledge of AI and machine learning in pursuit of autonomous driving applications. To further enhance his application skills, Peter, as the team captain, formed a competition team to compete in Berkeley’s ROAR competition, where they won ROAR’s S2-series First Place Award in 2021. Peter expressed that this journey added valuable material to his resume. He also believes that learning AI is a key to many future business opportunities.
