Women in Tech Regatta Seattle 2025

In this session, you learn about one of the hottest topics in the world of data science, generative AI. This session helps you to understand the technologies that make generative AI possible. You will be introduced to Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and generative AI.

How can we describe a picture or drawing in a manner that allows someone or something else to draw it? How can we create complex drawings with simple instructions? In this workshop, we will make use of turtle graphics—a method for developing virtual graphics—to explore basic concepts of computer science and programming and discover how to be an artist by writing code. No coding experience required.

No matter your industry, machine learning is revolutionizing the way we think about our future tools. In this workshop, you will learn the basic concepts and techniques of machine learning, including supervised and unsupervised learning, linear regression, decision trees, and neural networks. You will also get hands-on experience with popular machine learning tools and frameworks such as Python, scikit-learn, and TensorFlow. By the end of the workshop, you will have a taste of how machine learning works and how it can be applied to real-world problems.
