Google Developer Group Tucson is proud to host a Machine Learning Study Jam this summer. Join us to hone your ML skills, earn recognition that you can share on social media, be part of a community of AI/ML enthusiasts, and possibly win some great prizes! The event will culminate in a ML hackathon, where you can put your skills to use to create an applied ML app.

About the Study Jam

The Study Jam will utilize the kaggle platform - a popular online environment for data science and ML. Each week you will be asked to take a self-paced course on kaggle that you can complete in 3-4 hours. At the end of the week, we will congregate in Gather Town to share accomplishments, learnings, and get community input on topics that may not have been clear. You will also be able to ask questions and seek assistance through a Slack channel dedicated to the ML Study Jam. For each course you complete, you will receive a certificate that you can share on Twitter or LinkedIn.

After completing the courses, you should have the confidence to try building an app to demonstrate your new ML skills in the hackathon at the end of July. You can work together in teams or individually. There will be some fun prizes up for grabs!

Be good to one another!
