So overwhelmed 💛🤖 by "Build a Brain" finale! In just 12 weeks, students went from using technology to building intelligent systems from scratch. Things broke. They kept going. That’s resilience. Follow @noblackboxes.bsky.social #AI #STEM #Neuroscience

It was a blast to be part of the "AI × Education" panel with Dr. Timo Hannay, Ed Cooke and Rehana Al-Soltane, and talk about our @noblackboxes.bsky.social programme at the "AE Global Summit on Open Problems for AI", hosted by Thinking About Thinking.

Learning how to write a programme that recognises faces, objects and even voices is easy and fun when you have great teachers 😉!

"How early is too early to learn?". Wrong question. "How early is too early to play?"

Same smiles. Same excitement. Same fun! From secondary school students to PhD researchers, the reaction is always the same. What does this tell you? That we are on the good track of rewriting what everyone should know about technology! Follow @noblackboxes.bsky.social

One thing I love about teaching: seeing how differently we all learn. 🧠 Some need logic, others images or hands-on examples. The more varied the teaching, the deeper the learning. At NoBlackBoxes, we make abstract ideas click. In this clip, we explain what Heat 🔥 really is. www.noblackboxes.org
