We’re pulling back the curtain on a technical session where students get hands-on with open large language models and explore how they’re actually used in real-world scenarios. From practical workflows to applied use cases, this session is built to move beyond theory and into action.
During this session you will: 

•  Learn how Gemma can be accessed and used across multiple environments, including Kaggle and local setups using Ollama

• An understanding of how to access and work with Gemma across multiple environments, including Kaggle and local setups using Ollama

• Practical guidance to help you move from theoretical concepts to real-world experimentation

• A walkthrough of a real-world healthcare use case, demonstrating how Gemma can be used to build a mental health assistant

• Insights into building privacy-first AI systems, with a focus on data security and local control
