Could banana fiber redefine how we build wind turbines?
Ellie Mukongo, a #ClassOf2026 Electrical and Electronics Engineering student from DR Congo, is proving that innovation starts with what’s around us, using banana fiber to build a wind turbine.

Uber engineers don't want you to know this.
Here's how Uber computes ETA:
1 They represent the physical map as a graph
2 They compute ETA by finding shortest path in a directed weighted graph
3 They don't use Dijkstra’s algorithm because it won't scale with O(n*logn) time complexity
4 They partition graph & then precompute the best path within each partition
5 They reduce the time complexity from O(n^2) to O(n) by partitioning graph
6 They populate the edge weights of the graph with traffic information
7 They use Kalman filter & Viterbi algorithm for map matching to find ETA accurately

Stop collecting AWS certifications thinking that’s how you learn cloud.
If you are just starting to learn AWS, here are 7 beginner-friendly AWS projects that will teach you more than any shiny certification will.
And you can do it on your own:
Project 1: Static Website on S3
Host a simple site for $0/month plus learn bucket policies, CloudFront integration, and why public buckets are dangerous.
Project 2: EC2 Web Server
Launch an instance and deploy a small app while discovering security groups, SSH keys, and why you need load balancers.
Project 3: File Backup System
Upload and retrieve files in S3 while understanding storage classes, lifecycle policies, and versioning.
Project 4: Simple Database App
Use RDS with a Python/Flask app to learn connection pooling, backup strategies, and why you don’t run databases on EC2.
Project 5: CloudFront Distribution
Speed up your static site with a CDN while learning edge locations, cache invalidation, and origin behaviors.
Project 6: Serverless Function (Lambda)
Trigger a Python function when files are uploaded and discover cold starts, memory limits, and event-driven architecture.
Project 7: Route 53 Domain Setup
Buy a domain and connect it to S3/EC2 while learning DNS records, health checks, and traffic routing.
Each project teaches you one core AWS concept through real implementation, not theory.
You don’t need to learn all 100+ AWS services, you just need 10:
VPC, EC2, RDS, ECS, Lambda, IAM, S3, EKS, Route53, Secrets Manager/KMS
Master these through building, and the rest will make sense when you need them.
