Hey fellow parents! 👋

Hope you're all doing well. I wanted to share a project close to my heart. When my child was at Fiske, I realized that in this age of AI and tech revolution, our kids needed a dedicated space to understand and harness the power of Machine Learning and AI. Drawing from my experiences as an MIT alumnus, I founded ML4K - a school focused on Machine Learning and AI for kids.

In today's world, where AI is not just a buzzword but a crucial part of innovation, I believe it's essential for our kids to be ahead of the curve.

Here's a bit about our upcoming term:

• Location: Our new spot at 238 Bedford Street, Unit 2, Lexington MA, 02420.

• Dates: Sep 27 to Dec 20.

Why ML4K? 🤔

• Every student gets a copy of "Python and Machine Learning for Kids", a fantastic introduction to the subject.

• Our courses, like "Python for Machine Learning 101" and "Machine Learning Projects I", are tailored to make complex AI concepts kid-friendly.

• We prioritize quality over quantity, so we're keeping the class sizes intimate with just 5-6 kids.

I'm passionate about equipping our kids for the future. If you share this vision, I'd love for your young ones to join us on this exciting journey. Let's shape the future tech leaders together! Cheers! 🍂

Registration for the winter session (12 classes starting January 4th) is now open!

Class schedule:
[S.1] Machine Learning using Scratch (grades 3-6, Tuesday 5pm-6pm)
Step by easy step, students will discover how machine learning systems can be taught to recognize text, images, numbers, and sounds, and how to train your models to improve them. Students will turn models into fun computer games and apps, including:
- A Rock, Paper, Scissors game that recognizes your hand shapes
- A computer character that reacts to insults and compliments
- An interactive virtual assistant (like Siri or Alexa)
- A movie recommendation
[M.1] Machine Learning without coding (grades 6-12, Wednesday 5pm-6pm)
Anyone can do data science! After completion of this course students will understand key machine learning algorithms and be able to apply them to a wide range of problems. No coding, no math – just visualizations and interactive data exploration! No prior knowledge of coding or advanced math is required. The course will be hands-on, we will work on examples and do case studies.
[P.1] Python for Machine Learning 101 (grades 6-12, Thursday 6pm-7pm)
Machine learning (also known as ML) is one of the building blocks of AI, or artificial intelligence. AI is based on the idea that computers can learn on their own, with your help. In this course we will cover Python fundamentals (variables, loops, conditional statements, lists and dictionaries) as well as popular libraries used in data science: numpy, pandas, sklearn.
[P.2] Advanced Python for Machine Learning (grades 6-12, Thursday 4:30pm-5:30pm)
Students of this course will develop new advanced skills, as well as learn how large companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook leverage AI and Machine Learning. Covering hot topics like image recognition and predictive modeling, this course will equip young learners with key Machine Learning knowledge and skills upon completion.
