What:
AI Lab:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping our life and our livelihoods. It’s curating every screen, influencing decisions about loans, hiring, our vacations and more. AI and Machine learning: what are the basics of how it all works?
What is AI?
In this session we will focus Machine learning, the most common type of AI, made possible by mind blowing advances in computing power and unbelievable vast amounts of data.
What will we do?
We will review today’s technologies, demystify AI, explore their future impact, and look at how we are preparing the next generation. We will also share a practical example of Machine Learning, by demonstrating how a commonly used computer language, Python can be used to write an image recognition algorithm.
Junior Code Lab:
Inspiring young minds to learn and create with technology! This session is designed to introduce younger students to the fundamentals of programming, such as binary code or game design using interactive coding blocks. As well as lots of fun robotics adventures with Dash & Dot bots.
What is binary code?
The binary system is a way of writing using only two digits: 0 and 1. Binary is the language used by computers. Everything you see on a computer is stored in a form of binary numbers.
What will we do?
We will look at different computer components to see how they work together to process simple commands. Then we will use visual programming to create an animation or game where the characters communicate with each other using only binary code.
Cybersecurity Lab:
Join TechSpark Cybersecurity Lab and learn the basics of python programming and launch your first bruteforce attack on an encrypted ZIP archive.
What is bruteforce?
Cracking the password of a file or zip archive by trying out all possible password combinations.
What will we do?
We will start with the basic programming concepts of Python, then we will look into cryptography, finally we will prepare and run the bruteforce attack.
