During the first day, attendees had a chance to interactively participate in lectures coverin Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and MAchine Learning, Data Science and Analytics. Lectures were given by Luka Filipovic, Marko Grebovic, Stevan Cakic, Ivan Jovovic, and Dejan Babic. During the second day, the focus was on practical training and hands on experience. Students worked with Stevan Cakic, Zoja Scekic, Ivan Jovovic, Dejan Babic, Igor Culafic, and Vesna Calasan. The hands on included work tools for dataset preparation, computer vision model training, edge AI devices and porting the prediction models to edge IoT. The students were split into groups and worked on solving practical problems in domains such as agri-food sector, health and medicine, and energy.

Around 40 people took part in the workshop

There was almost 40 people attending the event. We used the breaks for coffee and pizza to network, mingle and discuss interests and exchange experiences. It was also an excellent opportunity for young people interested in IoT and AI to network and get to know each other.
