Abstract
During the Covid-19 pandemic, like the vast majority of countries in the world, Canada was under government-mandated lockdown, creating unprecedented challenges for the higher education system. This has exacerbated the problem of gender and ethnic inequalities in the STEM field due to the sudden disappearance of in-person communication and communities that had supported minority groups. To provide emergency support and reduce the known gender / ethnic gap, at York University in Toronto we designed a 3D imaging project for Ontario’s high school (HS) students, as part of an annual summer outreach program in the Lassonde School of Engineering. The project aims to create an equitable opportunity for HS students, providing a comprehensive introduction to image processing through experiential learning. We document our design methodology and experiences in the project, as well as feedback and evaluations from participants at all levels. We believe such documentation is valuable to promote gender- and ethnic-balanced education in image processing and the broader STEM field in the future, in an increasingly unpredictable environment due to climate change.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
