Intro to Python & AI
Train an AI to play tic-tac-toe, recognize images, and respond in a chatbot. Campers will use Python and AI libraries to explore how computers learn from examples. They’ll compare cats and dogs with an image model, try a Shy Panda webcam project, and create an emoji face mask. A word sorter, a learning rock-paper-scissors player, and a guessing game give them more ways to test predictions and feedback. Changing the examples can change the computer’s answer, so campers will investigate its mistakes and try again. Campers should be comfortable using a keyboard. Bring a snack and drink for class breaks. Bring a USB drive on the last day to save your projects.
