BONUS PRESENTATIONS
During the workshop breaks, we will
give you the opportunity to listen to
presentations by underrepresented collectives in the computer science field,
providing you with information about their journey and their experiences.
CURIOUS?
Are you a curious individual with an
eagerness to learn new things? During the workshop, you will be given a glimpse into the blooming field of computer science, with a special focus to empower underrepresented collectives to learn in a safe and comfortable environment.
COMPUTER VISION
Do you want to create your first artificial
intelligence application in Python? During
our workshop, you will use computer vision to derive meaningful information from images and videos and take actions based on that information. You could maybe detect objects or recognize your own actions?
COMPUTER SCIENCE
Computer science is the study of how to manipulate,
manage, transform and encode information. This includes the theory, design, development, and application of software systems. Computer scientists design and analyze algorithms to solve problems and study the performance of computer hardware and software.
