A.I. Holiday Camp Day 1: Machine Learning and Self-driving Car

Generate Art with machine learning, build intelligent assistants, teach a neural network to drive - Join us to harness the superpower of AI! About this Event This 2-day school holiday camp aims to help children and teenagers (10 ~ 18 years old) to not only unveil the myth of Artificial Intelligence but also learn to harness its superpower to be the creators and leaders of the future. The first day equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills on the Future of Art Generation , AI Based Personal Computing and Self-driving Car with a playful, hands-on approach. The second day highlight the application of robotics and artificial intelligence on fighting with bush fires , save people's lives and introduce the skills and knowledge in building such applications with the same approach. Event page and details are here. Human Beings were responsible for giving every direction to machines in the past, but not any more. Artificial Intelligence means equipping machines with the ability to make its own decision like or even better than human beings. Lead Facilitator Alex Lailei Huang was a researcher in the area of Distributed Artificial Intelligence at Hong Kong Baptist University. Alex has four academic publications in topics related to artificial intelligence, data mining and social media analysis. By the end of Day 1, the participants will be able to: 1. Understand Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning - the ‘intelligent brain’ behind autonomous cars and smart robots. To enhance the understanding, we prepared hands-on projects for the participants to train their own artificial neural networks to unleash human-level intelligence like recognizing faces, understanding voice commands and analyzing social media. 2. Gain an in-depth understanding of self-driving car: the current status and future of this disruptive technology; its significant impact to the society and everyday life. Moreover we design hands-on tasks for the participants to experience the self-driving car technologies NOW with advanced computer simulation technology. Below is a short video of our A.I. workshop in September 2019 Day 2 event details are here . We highly recommend you join both days for getting an in-depth understanding of A.I. and how we can use this superpower in daily life. What to bring - Please bring your own lunch, snacks and drinks.

AIEA's school holiday programs aim at democratizing disruptive technologies and equipping the next generation with knowledge and skills for the future job market. AIEA also provides Virtual Reality programs to NDIS providers to help people with special needs experience things that they can never do in real life to improve their learning and quality of life. The mission at AIEA is 'Empower 1000 dreams' with immersive learning media and technologies following the pedagogy of constructionism - a legacy of Seymour Papert, father of digital-based learning.
