Get Coding with Snap! - Building Up to AI

סקירה כללית

We all use computers every day, to play games, help us organize or communicate with others. But how can we make them do what we want?

In this course you will get an introduction to computer programming using the free and open-source visual programming language Snap! And you’ll also get a glimpse on more advanced Computer science concepts, too.

Finally, we’ll show you what Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all about and whether it might change the way we use our computers. Let us take you on a guided tour to the construction site of computing and artificial intelligence.

  We start with the Building Blocks of computer science and will learn about loops, conditionals and variables. Then it’s all about scaling.

We’ll look at how we can get from blocks to Building Systems through writing our own functions, working with objects and playing with recursion.   Equipped with the power tools of computer science we’ll venture into the realm of AI together.

Building AI is all about understanding the underlying principles of neural networks and generative AI.   This course if for everyone who is curious about AI and computer science.

Join us for 17 engaging and fun projects!
