Exploring AI with Physical Computing
Create Fun, Practical Applications with Micro:bits, Robots, and Block Coding
📅 Date: March 19
⏰ Time: 3:30–5:30 PM
💻 Location: Zoom (link provided upon registration)
Workshop Overview
Discover how Artificial Intelligence can come alive in your classroom through hands-on projects using micro:bits, robots, and block-based coding.
In this interactive introductory workshop, educators will explore how students can train simple AI models for object, sound, and gesture recognition—and connect them to physical devices for creative, real-world applications.
Participants will engage in demonstrations and guided activities using accessible tools such as Google Teachable Machine and Create AI, and will leave with ready-to-use lessons and resources.
No prior experience is required.
