Day 10: Ijams Nature Park

Ijams Nature Park Notes:

Indigenous/grounded view: The balance of nature upkeeps the balance of traits and balance of life and death in natural biodiversity.

Class Thoughts: It was interesting to see the impacts of this activity on myself and heartwarming to hear the shared similar feelings the rest of the class had about this activity as well. From observing things we would have never taken the time to watch to being phone free, it was a shared moment of mindfulness and awareness for everyone, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also enlightening to see how our topics in class connected to everyone's experience of 'observing' our surroundings with human lenses (Inchworm crossing the table, caterpillar climbing to a seemingly unreachable destination).

Day 9: Visualization and AI Overview

Data Visualization: McDonalds Dashboard I learned how to create a simple dashboard that consisted of sales, charts, and customer satisfactions. With this visualization, users could easily navigate between pages, see raw data compared to visualized data, and have easy access to contact information. With this dashboard data can be more easily understood and more easily analyzed whether it's for company improvement or company stats. What is AI? AI works based on data that it is taught whether it is text from a news outlet or a collection of art pieces. With this data, it can use its taught information to provide responses to prompts or stitch together words or images that correlate with the prompt. This technology can be used to generate all sorts of media whether it's a story, a summary, an image, or art. How Humans Determined Who Would Survive vs Code: Similarly to AI, we were given a set of videos to be our clues/our human "data." Based on these videos, we gat...

Day 11: Dr. Schuman

Guest Speaker: Dr. Schuman Today we got firsthand experience in creating data for a machine learning activity. We visited a site where we were able to feed information through series of pictures of either a facial expression, a hand signal, or certain objects. With this information, our machine was able to learn what traits were associated with certain items through an accumulation of mathematical formulas. Additionally we also got to play with an app that learned from other people's drawings and was able to complete our drawings and portray certain prompts (such as dog, cat, mermaid, lighthouse etc). Overall it was an engaging experience that allowed us to learn about machine learning data and experience collecting data ourselves. Pictured: Training Data of My Classmate
