Explore and create: Deep-dive Creation lab 
Preregistration Required
The presentation’s purpose is to explore the intersection of coding, AI, and sports through the micro:bits in meaningful and ethical ways. As participants gain a deeper understanding of the micro:bits’ functionalities such as coding interactive games and collecting real-time sports data, we will explore possibilities with AI in improving player performance and overall sports experience. We will solve real-world challenges in sports and contribute to positive change through highly engaging learning experiences that fosters creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Participants will engage in hands-on activities, design process, and AI analysis activities to create solutions to real-world challenges in sports. Participants will also engage in meaningful dialogues about the ethical considerations and responsible use of technology in sports. The goal is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to apply their learning in their communities and promote a culture of lifelong learning and digital citizenship.
