A Computer Vision Journey, Detecting The School Bus

What happens when a real computer vision project inspires a children’s book? In this session, Kristen Kehrer shares the true story behind building a school bus detector for her own driveway using computer vision and how that hands-on AI experiment became the inspiration for her book,
Susie’s School Bus Solution, which makes machine learning approachable and fun for young readers.

Join this behind-the-scenes walkthrough to learn:

• How the original school bus detection model was developed and deployed
• Lessons learned working with image data for the first time
• How a technical project transformed into a children’s story that explains big AI ideas in a friendly, relatable way

This session will inspire you to see how complex topics like computer vision and machine learning can be shared with children and spark curiosity for the next generation of creators and problem-solvers.

To celebrate the release of her new book, one attendee will receive a free copy, join us live for your chance to win!
