- **Event Name**: Black Boys Code Maritimes - Building with Artificial Intelligence
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-03:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for an exciting workshop designed just for boys aged 8-17! Whether they’re brand new to coding or eager to level up their skills.About this EventWorkshop OverviewOur March workshop moves students from learning about Artificial Intelligence to actively building with it. Participants transform their trained AI models and design blueprints into real, working creations, experiencing firsthand how AI powers games, apps, and conversations. It’s an exciting step from theory to hands-on innovation.In the Beginner Track, students turn their emotion-recognition AI models into interactive game controllers, building a dynamic Scratch game where their own facial expressions control what happens on screen, imagine smiling to make a character jump or reacting to trigger new movements. They see how AI vision connects directly to code in real time. Meanwhile, in the Advanced Track, students transform their chatbot ideas into fully functional Python programs. They write the logic that allows their chatbot to greet users, understand input, make decisions using conditionals, and carry on multi-topic conversations, just like real AI assistants. This is where ideas evolve into intelligent systems built entirely by the students themselves.This workshop is FREE, and all learning materials are provided, students simply need to bring their curiosity and readiness to build.Beginner Track - AI &amp; Game DevelopmentThis is where creativity meets code. Students combine their trained AI emotion models with Scratch programming to build their first interactive, AI-powered game. Using a visual, block-based coding environment, learners create a “Smile to Jump” game where facial expressions control gameplay, smiling makes the character jump!The session follows a complete-build approach, ensuring every student leaves with a fully playable game built from start to finish.Key ActivitiesRecap of the AI journey (Training → Game Building)Introduction to the Scratch platformCreating Scratch accountsLearning core Scratch blocks (motion, looks, events)Importing Teachable Machine models into Scratch (TM2Scratch extension)Coding sprite movement controlled by emotionsFocused build timeTesting and playing completed gamesLearning OutcomesStudents will:Navigate the Scratch programming environment confidentlyUnderstand block-based coding logicConnect an AI model to Scratch using extensionsCreate a functional emotion-controlled gameDebug simple coding challengesMaterials NeededBlack Boys Code will provide guidance and structured support throughout the session.Laptop with internet accessScratch account (created during session)Access to trained AI models from FebruaryTM2Scratch extension guideDeliverablesCompleted “Smile to Jump” AI gameSaved Scratch project linkAdvanced Track - Chatbots &amp; Python ProgrammingStudents translate their chatbot blueprints into real, working programs using Python. Through hands-on coding in Replit, learners build conversational chatbots that can listen to user input, process it, and respond intelligently.The workshop introduces essential Python concepts including variables, input/output, conditionals (if, elif, else), and loops. By the end of the session, every student will have a chatbot capable of handling multiple conversation topics.Key ActivitiesReview of Python fundamentals (print, input, variables, conditionals)Understanding conversational input/output flowSetting up the Replit coding environmentBuilding chatbot structure (welcome message, conversation loop, responses)Implementing if/elif/else logicAdding 3+ conversation topicsCreating exit conditionsTesting and debugging codeSaving final projectsLearning OutcomesStudents will:Write functional Python input and output codeApply conditional logic effectivelyUse loops for continuous conversationsImplement basic pattern matchingDebug syntax and logical errorsBuild a working conversational chatbotMaterials NeededBlack Boys Code will provide guidance and structured support throughout the session.Laptop with internet accessReplit account (free tier)Python starter templatesChatbot blueprints from FebruaryDebugging checklist and code comment examplesDeliverablesFully working Python chatbot (3+ conversation topics)Replit project linkCommented Python codeTest conversation screenshotsIf you’re unsure who your Chapter Leader is, please contact eventsupport@blackboyscode.com to get connected and learn how you can support your local team.For further questions you may have on the day of the workshop, please reach out to student.help@blackboyscode.comRegister Now, Space Is Limited!
