Working in Machine Learning and AI requires clear instruction, critical
thinking, and good ideas.
In this course we will build applications, using
Teachable Machine: A fast, easy way to create machine learning models.
Courses will cover the MIT designed
Dancing w AI
curriculum.
Twine
is a storytelling web framework used in teaching HTML, CSS, and
