Rock CS 2022 | Rocky Mountain Computer Science Conference for P-12 Educators

Ever seen a car drive around without passengers or accidentally set off the Alexa in your home? What about the advertisements on your Instagram knowing that you’re in market for a new pair of pants or Netflix recommending a movie you’ve been hearing about? These are all examples of artificial intelligence, or computers becoming as “smart” as humans. This technology has already shaped our digital world in more ways than we can process and with it comes both promise and peril.

In this interactive workshop, we will begin by taking a look at all the ways that AI influences the way we navigate the world, peek under the hood to see how machine learning works, and offer insight into how young learners play a key role in creating ethical and responsible technology. Designed for thinkers and doers of all ages, come and learn about how you can, in just 10 minutes, empower yourself with code to become part of a global conversation.
