<H3>WHAT YOU WILL LEARN</H3>
<P>Hey! Have you ever wanted to get into machine learning, but thought it would be just too complicated? Like it's a totally inaccessible field reserved only for PhD researchers and computer geniuses? Well as it turns out, there are now some exciting tools available for providing the benefits of machine learning in a simple and accessible way!</P>
<P>In this workshop we'll be using Javascript, which will allow us to do everything inside of a web browser. We'll use <A HREF="https://p5js.org/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="P5.js" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">p5.js</A> for the visual elements, and <A HREF="https://ml5js.org/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="ml5.js" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ml5.js</A> for the machine learning component. We'll specifically be using a technique called **transfer learning**, which will dramatically simplify the process of training our machine learning models.</P>
<H3>WORKSHOP PREREQUISITES</H3>
<P>This workshop is meant to be accessible to beginners. Experience with programming and the web environment would be assets, but not absolutely required.</P>
<P>Note that this workshop is not intended to make you an expert in machine learning, but it should provide a good entry point to the subject.</P>
