Demystifying AI: Machine Learning on Micro:bit
1 Day Workshop (IRL). Saturday, June 27 • 12:00 PM - 16:00 PM
Saturday, June 27 • 12:00 PM - 16:00 PM. (IRL) For artists interested in training their own machine learning model from their own small data sets.
Tickets: HERE
In this workshop we look at how you can create your own Machine Learning Model using the Micro:bit.
Your tutor will show you how a closed off, small data set AI model can be trained and used to recognise movement and gestures. You will collect motion data, train a machine learning model to detect patterns, then program the micro:bit to run that model.
Micro:bit CreateAI is a free, browser-based tool that lets you train a micro:bit to recognise your physical movements (clapping, waving, jumping, etc.) using the device’s accelerometer. Micro:bit Educational Foundation
You will finish the workshop with your very own personally trained interactive artwork, and an insight into pop culture AI tools.
This workshop is suitable for someone who:
Anyone with an interest in AI and what happens under the hood.
Wants to do practical work and discuss how the tech is developing.
This workshop is not for someone who:
Is hoping for a high level programming course.
Is not for making generative artworks with Language or Image models.
Doesn’t want to broaden their understanding of AI.
You will need:
Laptop that connects to the internet.
A web browser of your choice installed. (Chrome recommended)
