Excerpt
“An intro to AI talk with a difference: told through stories, stories about the experiences of young children in the schools that I’ve worked with.
I have run lessons in many schools, introducing students aged 7 and up, to the principles of artificial intelligence and machine learning and more importantly, the impact that these technologies have on their lives.
In this talk, I want to share what I’ve seen. I will demonstrate AI/ML projects made by children - but more importantly, I want to tell you about the lessons they learned from making them.”
