adults computer programming techknowledge

In this workshop, we'll uncover how machine learning works, and will then use machine learning to make predictions with our data. We'll do so by building a machine learning algorithm (called a decision tree) from scratch, and then see using the algorithm to predict movie revenues.

This is a workshop, so please bring a laptop if you have one; otherwise, we will provide one.

This workshop is part of a series. You can come to all three, or pick and choose individual ones.
