Name: Neural Networks 101: Let's write our first neural network in Python!
Start: 2018-09-12T18:00:00-05:00
End: 2018-09-12T20:30:00-05:00
Location: Solstice

In this hands on tutorial / class participants will get a bird's eye overview of what deep learning is and how neural networks fit into the space. Additionally we'll build a simple neural network in Python to allow us to start tinkering and exploring.

Participants are expected to have Python 3 installed and have a basic knowledge of Python (e.g. comfortable coding in a programming language) and machine learning (e.g. completed a class, wrote toy projects, etc.).

A curriculum with updated requirements will be emailed to registered participants one week in advance of the class. While beverages will be provided students should make their own dinner plans accordingly.

Agenda:
