Day of AI: Python and Computer Vision

Today, we collaborated again with Together We AI to host webinars on AI. 


The first webinar was on Python, where we learned machine learning as well as beginning Python syntax, before writing a simple number guessing game. For students interested in learning more about Python, our presenter recommends Codecademy - free and paid tutorials are available.


 In a second session, we learned about neural networks, the concepts behind computer vision. At the end of the session, students trained an image classifier without learning code. 

A nice thing about Teachable Machine, the site used in today's webinar, is that it does not upload any of the samples/training data - everything is kept in browser, and nothing is saved.   That is good to know if your student wants to train some models for personal projects.  For students wanting to go further and code using the models they trained, the presenter recommended CoLab

We want to thank Together We AI for continuing to expand AI education freely, including to our homeschooling group. We encourage those interested to follow Together We AI - they post about new webinars on their site, and they are also working on an AI curriculum which can be accessed after filling in this form.
