About the Workshop
This free three-hour workshop, sponsored by ReadyAI.org, will introduce K-12 teachers to a variety of tools for teaching students about Artificial Intelligence. Some of these are free browser-based demos such as Google’s QuickDraw and TensorFlow. Some involve children’s programming environments for AI, such as the Calypso software for the Cozmo robot and the Cognimates AI extensions for Scratch. And some are “unplugged” activities that can be done with a whiteboard or a smartphone.
The workshop is an outreach activity offered in connection with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) conference taking place in Honolulu on January 27 – February 1, 2019. Information about the joint AAAI/CSTA working group on AI for K-12 is available at ai4k12.org.
