Ever wondered how this works? Want to find out about the technology behind virtual personal assistants and other smart home gadgets? Then this course is for you!
Performing via cognition, today’s computers, software and devices can recognize people and speech, as well as write, speak and read handwriting. Popular applications of machine learning (ML), the most advanced form of artificial intelligence (AI), include smartphones and smart home gadgets that give you weather updates, stream music, lock your doors remotely and much more…
This course is perfect for teens with previous Python experience who want to develop a practical understanding of ML. Using Python, one of the key languages powering AI, students will build an image recognition algorithm to distinguish between two objects of choice, such as two animals or two objects.
A minimum of 4 students is required for the course to take place. Tell your friends!
You can also sign up for this course in two alternative formats: online tutoring to move at your speed & deepen your knowledge, or in-person camp in Switzerland during school holidays.

required (e.g. suitable for students who
have taken the Mobile Apps, Hacker
Mode or Code in Python course) - Completion of a ‘‘course familiarity form” allowing instructors to gage the level of the class and fine-tune the planned teaching. (Please note that this is not a test, but rather a way to understand what course content students may already be familiar with)
- What AI is
- How AI is being used in our everyday life
- How AI systems like speech recognition and image classification work
- How to create AI applications using Python
- Fundamental (mathematical/algorithmic) theories behind AI
- A digit classifier that can be used to automatically distinguish digits and images
