What participants said about MAMA AI Academy:
The academy was interactive, interesting, suitable even for people who are not extremely tech-savvy.
About the theoretical part: it has to be, but it is difficult to present it in a fun and simple way – Jan K. did it perfectly on the first day!
Fun exercises that show great potential for use across disciplines.
I liked that everything was understandable even for a person without a deep mathematical, computer science or AI background.
Both days were great. I admired how you can explain everything in a clear, interesting and witty way. In your presentation, AI – for a layman like me – becomes a really interesting topic and I plan to go through more courses. Thanks a lot!
Jupyter notebooks were, in my opinion, great even for people without a deep knowledge of programming.
I learned a lot of new information, which was interspersed with practical demonstrations. Everything was very clearly explained and the timing was excellent (neither too much nor too little, just enough). Thank you!
