He will be awarded $2,000 with an additional $2,000 being awarded to GHS. His project was entitled: “Bridging the Sim-to-Real Gap in Autonomous Drone Control via Curriculum-Scheduled Domain Randomization.”
Esther Nabisere was recently selected to the prestigious United States Senate Youth Program, a national initiative that brings exceptional student leaders to Washington, D.C., for an intensive study of the federal government. She will also receive a $10,000 undergraduate scholarship funded by The Hearst Foundations.
