Artificial intelligence (Al) involves replicating human-like problem-solving and decision-making skills, often realised through constructed systems like computer programmes. Delve into the core components of machine learning, from data to algorithms, models, and predictions, and discover how they drive Al systems. Join us in a no-code hackathon to develop and deploy an Al application for education.

So, join us and explore what Al is and how it can be applied in the real-world and in your classroom.
