This course introduces students to the world of robotics focusing on LEGO's Education SPIKE™ Prime Robotic Set, utilizing the Building Blocks programming method. Students will learn how to make the robot move and turn with accuracy. They will be introduced to programming using Force, Color and Distance Sensors, along with using Repeat Blocks, Sound Blocks, Light Blocks and If-Then/If-Else Statement blocks. Advanced topics include Event Synchronization, Variables, Acceleration, squaring on and following a line. Students will be presented with challenges utilizing the skills learned during the course. Be part of the fun working on programming challenges in order to accomplish different robotic tasks.
This basic/intermediate class will teach students how to get more out of their DSLR and Mirrorless camera. They will learn how to navigate their camera settings, functions, and access other menus that will help improve their photographic skills. Students are required to bring their DSLR or Mirrorless cameras with charged batteries for some hands-on time during each of the classes. If you own a tripod, please pack that as well. We will be taking photos throughout the class as we navigate the camera settings. Let’s have some fun!
The importance of computer chips (also known as semiconductors or integrated circuits) cannot be overstated. These tiny yet powerful components are at the heart of modern technology. Computer chips serve as the building blocks for electronic devices, from smartphones and laptops to servers and supercomputers. Power in the modern world – military, economic, geopolitical – is built on a foundation of computer chips.
Access to cutting-edge chip technology is crucial for military systems, including radar, communication, and encryption. Nations vie for control over chip manufacturing to ensure their security and defense capabilities. The United States has dominated advances in chips, but that edge is in danger of slipping. China is pouring billions into a project to catch up. The United States and China are engaged in a high-stakes race to dominate chip production. Making computer chips has become the new arms race.
Join Dr. Ian Perera from the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) for an enlightening discussion on how artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way we interact with machines. Dr. Perera will share his insights on the latest advancements in AI, focusing on how these technologies can improve communication between humans and machines. The talk will begin with a brief overview of IHMC by Laurie Zink.
Discover how AI systems are being designed to understand and respond to human language, and learn about innovative tools that assess how well we work with these systems under stress. This talk will provide a fascinating look at how AI can enhance our daily lives and tackle real-world challenges.
