    The thinqueBytes® Invisibility with Green Screen Workshop is a hands-on, beginner-friendly introduction to computer vision, a fundamental area of artificial intelligence and robotics. This workshop is designed to make advanced tech topics fun, accessible, and inclusive for all learners. Using a creative “invisibility” activity, participants will explore how computers perceive their environments in a way that is analogous to how people see. Through guided exercises, learners will utilize core computer vision concepts, learn how algorithms interpret images, and apply programming techniques to create visual effects. By the end of the workshop, students will be able to analyze a fundamental component of how computer vision systems work. This workshop welcomes participants of all backgrounds and encourages curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.

     

    Learning objectives:

    By the end of the workshop, learners will be able to:

    • Define basic concepts in computer vision, such as image processing, color detection, and masking.
    • Describe how computer vision systems interpret and respond to visual input.
    • Demonstrate the use of simple code to manipulate visual data and create an invisibility effect.
    • Evaluate the effectiveness and limitations of a basic object detection method used in the invisibility cloak activity.
    • Demonstrate the use of simple code to manipulate visual data and create an invisibility effect.
    • Analyze how computer vision algorithms can be influenced by lighting, background, or human appearance, and discuss implications for equity and inclusion.
