Demystifying Artificial Intelligence

Simply magical! We made unbelievable predictions in the last 5 days.

A, Grade 9/ Year 10

What you will learn

• Learn how world-class AI works, without going into any of the hairy theory

• Build programs that can, say, detect your pictures from among thousands of pictures

• Gain practical experience and confidence to pick a real-life problem around you and solve it yourself using tools you learn in the course

Requirements & Setup

• A laptop or desktop computer with an active internet connection

​

• A microphone and speakers. Ideally, you should also have a camera - a webcam or an inbuilt camera in your laptop) for video calling, although this is not necessary.

​

• If you are on the Python course, you will need to install Python on your computer, so you need the permissions to install software on your computer.

Course FAQs

Q: What are the prerequisites for the course?

Well, you must have done at least 2 years of serious Python and be very comfortable in solving problems using for loops. Ideally you should have used a variety of modules (using import) in Python.

Q: I want to know more. How can I get in touch?

We will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. Please feel free to call us at +44-75398-90926 or email us at learn@rivalearning.com or simply leave a message here.

Q: How many teachers would you have in a class?

We aim for no more than 8 students per teacher to maximise learning through collaboration with peers and personal attention from the teacher.

Q: I get coding. What is Python?

Python is a text based programming language that is widely used today in the most successful tech companies such as Google, Netflix and Facebook. In fact, YouTube and Instagram have been written in Python.

While there are many other programming languages such as Java, C and C++, Python is probably the easiest to pick up and yet among the most powerful.

Q: I already know C/C++/Java. Is this course relevant for me?

Absolutely. You will learn how to code in Python and appreciate how powerful it is. It's a great tool to have in your arsenal. Having said that, if you are already a Java/C/C++ expert, then you should really join our highly-tailored weekly Python classes, instead of our camps.

Q: Do you have a Java course?

Not yet and at the moment, it's not in the works either. That's not to say Java is not fun. Python, in our opinion, is superior in many ways and the language of choice.

Q: Do I need to know Scratch? I already know Scratch

Scratch is not a requirement, but if you already know Scratch, you will absolutely love Python and its power. A text based programming language such as Python is the logical next step from Scratch.

Q: Should I rather start with Scratch?

Different students have different learning styles. Scratch is a visual programming language designed to teach kids how to code, so it might be more suitable for you. Once you have learned Scratch, you can always move on to Python, which is used more widely and not just as an educational tool.
