Two free online workshops: Machine Learning 6/17-18 and Generative AI 7/2

UMBC-Shady Grove will hold two free AI-related online workshops this summer featuring collaborative and hands-on examples and real-world applications.

Introduction to Machine Learning, 1-4 pm EDT, June 17-18, 2025

This two-day workshop provides an introduction to machine learning for participants from all backgrounds and experience levels. While a basic understanding of Python is required, participants will receive introductory materials to help them get started, covering essential Python concepts and the key libraries used in machine learning, ensuring that even those new to programming can confidently follow along. The workshop covers the entire process—preparing data, building, evaluating, deploying machine learning models, and displaying results in colorful plots.

Introduction to Generative AI, 1-5 pm EDT, Wednesday, July 2, 2025

This workshop explores the rapidly evolving world of LLMs and generative AI systems, building upon the foundational knowledge gained in the machine learning workshop.  Participants will learn how to use Python API calls to generate text, images, and videos with state-of-the-art generative AI models. The workshop will guide them through practical examples and real-world applications, enabling them to experiment with cutting-edge tools and understand the underlying principles of generative AI.
