Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used in more and more applications and is affecting our reality in new and challenging ways. Science centres have a unique opportunity and obligation to educate and engage the general public in this. In this workshop we will get to know what AI is, how it works, and some of the challenges it raises. We will also make our own AI-algorithms, use them with microcontrollers (micro:bit) and build amazing inventions to explore how AI can be used as a creative tool. The workshop will be organised in different working stations combining high tech tools, such as programmable AI-cameras, Teachable Machine and micro:bit, to low-tech fun like straws and cardboard. As a participant you will be able to make and play with your own AI-controlled inventions.
The Tinkering Space at the 2022 Ecsite Conference is sponsored by the LEGO Foundation.
