22 / 29 Apr 2022 (Fri) Introduction to Linux Operating System with Raspberry Pi Workshop (Re-run) This workshop is designed for teachers who have never used Linux before. With the software support from Tensorflow, PyTorch and Nvidia, Linux is considered as the “go-to” operating system for machine learning. Because of this, people usually use this free-to-use Linux System to build open-source AI projects. This beginner-level workshop will introduce basic command-line interface of Debian-based Linux with a Raspberry Pi. We will cover topics like installing packages, creating, copying, and removing files. We will also install PyTorch on the Pi to perform a simple image classification experiment. Review

Introduction to Linux Operating System with Raspberry Pi With the software support from Tensorflow, PyTorch and Nvidia, Linux is considered as the “go-to” operating system for machine learning. Open-source AI projects also tend to be built on the Linux system because of ​this, and it is free. This beginner-level workshop will walk you through the primary command-line interface of Debian-based Linux with a Raspberry Pi. We will cover topics like installing packages, creating, copying, ​and removing files. We will also install PyTorch on the Pi, which turns it into an AI-ready device.​ ​ Review
7 May 2021(Fri) CocoRobo Next-Gen AIoT Teacher Training Session (on-site) This time, our training workshops will introduce another common AI toolkit, Next-Gen AIoT, to introduce the application of AI as well as basic programming of Python. Participating School Teachers will gain hands-on experience of AI by using a programme design tool called CocoBlockly X together with the use of extension modules to develop several small-scale AI projects. The workshops will be conducted in four sessions, one for introductory and other three specially for the Project’s exclusive AI experiments. Review
7 May 2021(Fri) E-platform Introduction Session Led by CUHK Knowledge and Education Exchange Platform (KEEP) team, the introduction session will ​provide an overview of the E-Platform by introducing various system modules of software toolkits for AI ​teaching and learning.
