This weekend we had good fun at the Keki’s Community Summer Fair advertising our code club and running some interactive demos. It was great to see the interest in technology by the kids out there and naturally would welcome any of them to our meetings 🙂
We had fun showing off our ‘Machine Learning Unplugged’ – a demo as to how AI learns where its brain is managed through different coloured beads! At the beginning of the day, the AI made random choices and the humans could beat it easily. But over a number of rounds through reinforcement learning – adding beads when it won and removing beads when it lost – it became a master of the game and won most rounds.
We also enjoyed showing off our home made Zoetrope which is a great example of how animations work, and our collection of 3d printed bits and bobs – some made by our students!
There was some good attendance and we want to thank the Keki’s Guinea Pig and Rabbit Rescue for running the event and hope that they had a good day fundraising.
