DESCRIPTION:Join Anil Malakar\, Cloud &amp; AI Solutions Architect with 22+ yea
 rs of experience and author of practical guides on generative AI and agent
 ic systems\, for a fast-paced 60-minute session.\n\nThis IEEE workshop dir
 ectly addresses the IEEE&#39;s interest in &quot;making&quot; and &quot;engineering design&quot; b
 y empowering students to build their own personal AI engineering workstati
 on. We move AI from an abstract\, cloud-based service to a tangible\, conf
 igurable system on their own hardware.\n\nLearning Objectives: Participant
 s will be able to:\n\n· Understand the benefits and possibilities of runn
 ing modern AI models locally versus relying solely on cloud APIs.\n\n· In
 stall and configure a complete\, open-source GenAI stack (Ollama\, Llama 3
 .1\, or any other LLM available) on their personal computers.\n\n· Integr
 ate the Strands Agents SDK to create basic agentic workflows.\n\n· Build 
 and interact with a functional local AI Agent to demonstrate core Agentic 
 AI concepts.\n\n· Identify minimum hardware requirements and performance 
 trade-offs for local AI development.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE North Jersey
