Abstract: Have fun as you learn about virtual robotics using Coderz platform, AI using Jupyter notebooks & Intel's OpenVINO toolkit ™, with this introductory course. From understanding sensors to programming missions, this course will equip you with virtual coding experience in programing robots or drones and understanding AI. No robot required. No prior experience required. A laptop with internet access and Chrome browser will do. This course will also enable you to set up after-school robotics /AI clubs for your local community children. These lessons are taught by award winning teams from Education Empowers Inc. (501 (c) non-profit) as well as Intel Industry professionals.
Be the first 30 to register and receive an Intel Movidius Neural Compute Stick (NCS2, $70 value) and access to CoderZ for a year, from Education Empowers Inc.
