1. Implementation Plan

Greenwood specifically asked us just for a matchmaking algorithm, but we wanted to go the extra mile and give them a full technical plan. Stage 1 will be our current algorithm, which will deal with the specific problems Greenwood has seen so far, which we will fine tune upon working closely with them over the next couple of weeks/months. The next 2 stages are about implementing machine learning (simplistic followed by complex, as students and mentors increase), with a final hopeful far future plan wherein the AI may help Greenwood in improving other aspects of their internship program other than just the matchmaking. Our intention is to work with Greenwood and come up with metrics that may be of use to them to accurately judge how well a mentorship went (the most obvious of which would be to ask for some kind of feedback from students/mentors) to come up with data points that will give us insight into future operations. Our team sees this as an opportunity to grow with Greenwood and hopefully make a positive change in society.

All of us have been students in the US, though based in India, and we applaud Greenwood's initiative. Hopefully, in the future, we may be able to replicate such a program in our own country as well.
