Your opinion matters! If you’re in grade 6 through 12, then you have a chance to make a difference at your library by joining the Teen Advisory Board (TAB). During the school year, we will meet once a month at 3:30 PM to share ideas about upcoming programs and discuss how we can make the most out of the library’s services for tweens and teens. This is an opportunity to practice leadership, collaboration, and civic engagement and to take an active role in shaping the library’s impact on your community. Becoming a member of the board requires a commitment to attend meetings regularly.

Artificial Intelligence: Visual Machine Learning Part I
Thursday, December 11 at 3:00 PM
If you’ve ever felt like some unseen entity is watching you, you may be right. AI powered cameras are appearing more and more in our daily lives, from facial recognition software to self-driving cars, to checkout-free “Just Walk Out” convenience stores that “watch” you shop and charge your bank account accordingly. Whether you see this technology as useful and exciting or intrusive and creepy, the phrase “knowledge is power” has never been more relevant. With that in mind, tweens and teens in grades six through twelve are invited to a 2-part Visual Machine Learning workshop at the Seekonk Public Library.

In this first session on Thursday, December 11 at 3:00 pm, we’ll get an overview of how AI visual recognition works, including a brief discussion of important concepts like Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Then we’ll learn how to operate an AI Machine Vision Sensor camera and get some practice using its various visual recognition features. We’ll finish the session by identifying a real-world problem that lends itself to visual AI technology. In the second session on January 15, we’ll use the Vision Sensor to actually train an AI program that solves our problem!

This 90-minute event is free and open to tweens and teens in grades 6 through 12. Space is limited and REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR EACH OF THE TWO SESSIONS.
