QSITE and the Digital Technologies Institute, supported by Google Australia, are conducting an introductory-level workshop on Artificial Intelligence.
Who should attend?
Late primary, secondary and pre-service teachers looking to take their first steps in artificial intelligence.
When and where?
Date: 6th November 2021
Venue: St John’s Anglican College, Senior Campus, College Ave, Forest Lake QLD 4078
The workshop runs from 9am - 3:00pm
What does it cost?
Because of funding from Google Australia, we can provide the event free of charge.
What does the workshop include?
The workshop provides a hands-on focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning. Participants obtain an introductory level understanding of AI and can recreate the curriculum-aligned activities in a classroom with students. There will be tons of hands-on activities and lesson plans, and we will keep tech jargon to a minimum. Don’t be afraid: You don’t need to be coding Ninja. Non-coders will be able to follow the entire workshop with ease.

We look forward to seeing you at the workshop.
For some strange reason, we have been wanting to make our own clock for quite some time. If you followed our work with the B4 CPU Construction kit, you have seen that the Decimal Counter and Display Modules kind of led the way.
We wanted our clock to be sleek and show all the amazing tech that makes it work. So we set to work. Demoed for the first time at the National Education Summit 2021 Brisbane, we are releasing our newest product:
It is drawing inspiration from our Black Forest heritage (the origin of the cuckoo clock) we have created our own modern take. The ultra thin clock hides nothing. If you have ever wanted to see the inner electronics, this is the clock for you.
The clock comes with its own 3D-printed stand, charging cable and instruction manual. Just plug it into any USB port (even your laptops) and set the time with the 4 buttons. It doesn't get much easier than that.
For the tech enthusiast, we have added an ICSP port to make it freely programmable. Clock can be programmed from the Arduino ISP with an USBasp programmer and triggered through external signals. This means that Clock can be used as a universal 4-digit display. Applications include score counting in a pinball machine, stopwatch, timer, etc. We recently configured clock to display the time that a sphere travels between two photoelectric light barriers in a year 11 Physics gravity experiment. Isaac Newton would have been proud.
But when Clock is not doing these superhero things, it just sits on the desk and is the best clock it can be.
Available in blue, red or white.
