Event Description
“Any Sufficiently Advanced Technology is Indistinguishable from Magic.”
What if you could really wave a wand, cast a spell, or disappear beneath a cloak? In this interactive workshop, you’ll see how artificial intelligence makes the seemingly magical become reality.
Through hands-on coding experiments, you’ll build a “magic” wand that responds to movement, animate images with a few clever tricks, and even try out a cloak of invisibility. Along the way, you’ll discover how technologies like computer vision, generative AI and machine learning blur the line between science and sorcery.
Designed for 11–14 year-olds, this playful, hands-on session shows how AI, today’s most advanced technology, can sometimes feel just like magic. No previous coding experience is required, just bring your imagination and be ready to explore the science behind the spellbook.
