No prior coding/AI needed!
Just Curiosity & Passion
What You Will Master
Empowering future leaders with the technical literacy and strategic insight to address major ecological and cooling issues globally.
Train Machine Learning
Interactively train computer vision and classification models to solve real-world smart energy efficiency and waste management problems.
Audit AI Biases
Inspect, test, and break AI datasets to discover biases and understand their ecological impact on physical management systems.
Formulate Conversational AI
Design and deploy specialized AI personas programmed to deliver localized climate action directives and energy conservation tips.
Harness Generative Art
Master prompt engineering techniques to synthesize high-impact generative art, comics, and stories on environmental sustainability.
Collaborative Tech Prototyping
Team up to brainstorm, formulate a Concept Canvas, and pitch your custom Green Tech solution at the physical exhibition.
The Green Tech Solution Prototype
Throughout the 5-day lab, you won't just learn theory; you will assemble a functional, collaborative tech prototype that builds sequentially day by day, culminating in a live exhibition presentation.
Identify (Days 1 & 2)
Establish energy saving systems and automatic waste sorters while observing how AI algorithms see waste and power usage.
Communicate (Days 3 & 4)
Configure intelligent climate bots and prompt generative tools to illustrate and visualize climate challenges visually.
Build (Day 5)
Define training datasets, draft functional wireframes on a Concept Canvas, and assemble a prototype to pitch to judges.
