Indigenous Cooking, with a dash of AI (Part 2: Headline Event)
STEAMlabs, with Xaxli’p First Nation chef, David Wolfman
Part 2: Wed., Jan 26th, 2022 at 10:00 am ET
On January 26th, we invite you and your students to join us in this live headlining event with special guest, Xaxli’p First Nation chef, David Wolfman!
(This session extends from the Part 1: Teacher Event held on January 12th where educators learned how to integrate AI education into their classrooms!)
Learn about traditional Indigenous cooking practices from Chef David Wolfman and how to use an AI Neural Network simulator to generate new pie recipes for a restaurant! You will learn about how data can be biased and how excluding cooking from a wide array of cultures can have negative impacts. This can lead to missing out on the rich diversity of experiences that can be shared from other cultures, and risk marginalizing those communities. We then show how you can build your own model from your interests using our NN simulator. We also build real-world AI like the YouTube recommendation engine to open up the black box that is AI!
Register (once) for both events here:
We extend a huge shout out to our friends at Amazon Future Engineer, Kids Code Jeunesse, and Actua for making this activity possible!
Between the first and second part of the workshop, teachers are invited to incorporate the web application and AI education into one of your lessons so your students are well prepared for the live event! If you need one-on-one support after the first workshop on how to integrate these tools into your class, you can reach out to our STEAMLabs team member, Mohammad Tahsin
