Invent a robot with MACHINE LEARNING BRAINS TO FIGHT WITH BUSH FIRES
AND SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES - Join us to harness the superpower of A.I.!
About this Event This 2-day school HOLIDAY CAMP AIMS TO HELP CHILDREN
AND TEENAGERS (10 ~ 18 years old) to not only unveil the myth of
Artificial Intelligence but also learn to harness its superpower to be
the creators and leaders of the future. The first day equip
participants with the essential knowledge and skills on the Future of
Art Generation , AI Based Personal Computing and Self-driving Car with
a playful, hands-on approach. Event page and details are here. The
second day (this workshop) highlight the application of artificial
intelligence and ROBOTICS ON FIGHTING WITH BUSH FIRES , save people
and animals' lives and introduce the skills and knowledge in building
such applications. Bush fires are an increasing issue in Australia and
our current solutions are inadequate. Resources are already stretched
and we need new solutions for this problem! In Day 2, participants
will help find solutions using ROBOTICS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
.Our vision is that every house will have its own rescue robot called
a FireBot to help put out fires and assist with rescues. Students will
start with a simple robot and program it to get to the fire. Their
robot can be configured as a rescue robot to detect people or a fire.
It can assist a police car to help manage traffic too. A test mat with
black lines for navigation will be used to simulate a rural fire
scene. Students will help design and create the bush fire scene using
Lego and lights to simulate a fire. Students in teams of two will
explore alternative solutions for controlling their FireBot from
simple sensors like a people sensors, flame, smoke and air quality
sensors to more complex solutions using AI and MACHINE LEARNING TO
RECOGNISE FLAMES, people and manage traffic. Day 2 of this A.I. camp
will use Jetson Nano, the smallest yet very powerful A.I. computer
designed by NVIDIA. It enables multiple neural networks in parallel
for applications like image classification, object detection,
segmentation, and speech processing. Day 2 is designed and lead by
Philip Mallon who is an leading expert in intelligent transportation,
ROBOTICS AND ENGINEERING. Philip has 40+ years of experience in
working, leading and delivering major, real-world STEM projects at
Westmead Hospital and NSW government (e.g., T Ways for Sydney,
Flashing lights at School Zones in NSW). Philip was also an
Engineering Manager and lecturer at UTS teaching STEM subjects. What

workshops: About AIEA: Australian Immersive Education Academy (AIEA)
is a not-for-profit organisation that provides Virtual Reality,
Artificial Intelligence and other disruptive technologies based
learning workshops around NSW, e.g., 11 city councils including 20
public libraries in NSW. AIEA's school holiday programs aim at
democratizing disruptive technologies and equipping the next
generation with knowledge and skills for the future job market. AIEA
also provides Virtual Reality programs to NDIS providers to help
people with special needs experience things that they can never do in
real life to improve their learning and quality of life. The mission
at AIEA is 'Empower 1000 dreams' with immersive learning media and
technologies following the pedagogy of constructionism - a legacy of
Seymour Papert, father of digital-based learning. Our facebook page:
