Machine Learning meets Gaming Workshop
This is an online event
Join us for a one-hour beginners workshop in Machine Learning. After a basic introduction to this cutting-edge technology you’ll make your own Machine Learning model with Google’s Teachable Machines. Teach your model to recognise your body movements then, with a little Javascript coding, play a game of Snake using your body as a controller!
You don’t need any prior knowledge of machine learning or coding for this workshop, but you will need a webcam. While there is no pressure to turn on your webcam during the Zoom call, it is essential when training your machine learning model.
This event is suitable for anyone over the age of 12 years with an interest in both Machine Learning and gaming. Please note that anyone under the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult.
To prepare for this workshop, please sign up for an account on P5.JS (https://editor.p5js.org/signup) before the attending the event.
