Vernissage Ausstellung generative Kunst im Werk 2 in Dußlingen, u.a. Mit Werken von Joachim Wedekind, die er mit Snap! gemacht hat 🤩

What is #softmax and why is it important for machine learning? Check out my refresher tutorial on multiclass classification in neural networks and how you can build your own from scratch in Snap!, (or) your favorite programming language: snap.berkeley.edu/project?user...

To say this is a problem is a gigantic understatement. We live in the golden age of AI slop. Hopefully we will soon gain the right control the algorithms that control our online life in order to filter out AI slop to a large degree.

New Blog post. microblocks.fun/blog/2025-10...

Last week I was asked to explain to the SAP dev community how neural networks work using Snap!. From matrix multiplication to backpropagation, from perceptrons to deep learning, from Heaviside to Hinton, here's the math and the history in a nutshell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JSn...

Need to teach about machine learning and neural networks? We propose a “Chalktalk” activity: Train a local neural network to classify a bunch of hand drawn figures. Then use it to animate your own interactive story! Snap! project starter: snap.berkeley.edu/snap/snap.ht...

I have just updated Snap's neural networks extension with the capability for multinomial classification. You can now generate a block that directly reports the class name of a sample record for data sets with three or more categories. snap.berkeley.edu/run

Join me online next Thursday to find out about the “sales slip algorithm” that powers all of contemporary AI, the history of neural networks and how to build them yourself using Snap! This talk is part of SAP’s #Devtoberfest and open to everyone. community.sap.com/t5/devtoberf...

Un sensor recull dades i les envia a un entorn de programació... Preparats per investigar les xarxes neuronals amb Snap! @microblocks.bsky.social @jmoenig.bsky.social #sitges #robòtica #programació #extraescolars

Enjoying @amyko.phd's wisdom: “I will do whatever needs to be done to have the impact and not worry about … my promotion constraints or getting a paper out […]. That's a really key thing when you're working with teachers … industry or government or NGOs.” inroads.acm.org/article.cfm?...

What's new in Snap! 11 - Data - Extensions - Neural Networks - my closing keynote address at #SnapCon25 in Heidelberg is now online: youtu.be/U9W04TEMBUk?... check the notes for all project links and program along my examples of instrument and gesture recognition.

It was such a pleasure to welcome Mark Guzdial at SAP today, learn about the latest University of Michigan PCAS developments and discuss CS pedagogy wrt neural networks in Snap. Thanks for bringing your ukulele, Mark! You saved my live demo to train a neural model to distinguish musical instruments!

I will be in Tokyo, Japan, from Sep 24 - Oct. 4 for the NII Shonan Meeting #233 (shonan.nii.ac.jp/seminars/233/) with a few days before and after. If you’re around and would like to chat about Snap! / educational blocks based computing DM me!

Ich habe Gemini gebeten, mir einen Kassenzettel für einen fiktiven Einkauf der sieben Zutaten für einen guten Kuchen aus dem Kinderlied "Backe, backe Kuchen" zu generieren. Long Story short: Gemini hat's nicht hinbekommen und schließlich aufgegeben: g.co/gemini/share...

At #Snapcon25 Andrea and Joek share their reflections on the #TurtleStitch10 meet up in #Tilburg. We celebrated 10 years of #creativecoding in #turtlestitch - which is built on #Snap, created by @jmoenig.bsky.social #computing #embroidery www.turtlestitch.org

Enjoying @jmoenig.bsky.social keynote at #Snapcon25 showing how #Snap functionality can be used in a natural way for humans. #computing #maths

I have just now released Snap! v11, featuring an alternative way to build your own blocks: Instead of writing an algorithm you can let a neural network figure it all out directly from a dataset of examples. Can't wait to show y’all next week at SnapCon in Heidelberg! snap.berkeley.edu/run

Ich bin total aufgeregt und freue mich riesig auf die Jahrestagung der Schweizer Medien- und Informatik Lehrenden nächste Woche hoch droben auf der Rigi. Noch ist mein Keynote-Vortrag ein schöpferisches Chaos, aber ein paar schlaflose Nächte und ein inspiratives Wunder, dann wird das hoffentlich ;)

I have been thinking about a reporter-version of “broadcast and wait” for a long time… Now coming to Snap! v11 going live at Snap!Con 2025 in less than a month! www.snapcon.org/conferences/...

A nice reunion in Olot with @tonimorenorey.bsky.social and @jmoenig.bsky.social Un bonito reencuentro en Olot con @tonimorenorey.bsky.social y @jmoenig.bsky.social

Building Blocks for Neural Networks, now in Snap! v11 public beta test: snap.berkeley.edu/versions/dev...

#MediaComp meets #AI: I’m training a self-built deep neural network in Snap! on a bunch of 100-sample chunks from 2 recordings so it learns to distinguish between my flute and my harmonica when I play them into my laptop’s microphone. Gonna teach this to kids this fall 🤩

Deep Learning and Backpropagation are coming to Snap! v11 this fall: Preview of a simple 2-layer neural network solving the XOR problem

As I’m exploring artificial neural networks and deep learning in Snap! I got distracted by these gorgeous apothecaries’ weights I found in a garage sale nearby. There must be a pedagogical reason for me to buy these, right? RIGHT? 😀 snap.berkeley.edu/snap/snap.ht...

Liebe Teilnehmende am online Hochschuldidaktikseminar "Hinter den Kulissen von Generativer KI", Jadga und ich freuen uns heute bei SAP auf einen buchstäblich "märchenhaften" Nachmittag mit Euch! www.hochschuldidaktik.net/veranstaltun...

The talk I gave about Generative AI with Snap! at the Espai Crater in Olot, Spain last Friday night is now online (in English): youtu.be/By1lT-xjHzc?...

I made this during my stay in Olot using MIT App Inventor. You can draw on a grid and the x, y and hex value of the color is send to a microcontroller in real time. I used a great color picker extension to change the colors. The microcontroller is of course using @microblocks.bsky.social.

This is what live coding is all about. 🎵🎶 ⌨️ MicroBlocks and Snap! during Robolot 2025 youtu.be/2gQkrdHsG-c?...

Tonight I'll be giving a talk about programming a generative AI in Olot, Spain, at the Espai Crater, as part of my Faberllull residency. I'll be talking in English - live translated to Catalan - and programming in Snap! Come by and say hi! www.olotcultura.cat/agenda/acte/...

@tonimorenorey.bsky.social and a lot of other people make the Faber week in Olot possible. Thank you for the gifts from you and Keyestudio.

I'm thrilled to travel to Olot to participate in the @faberllull educational robotics and programming residency faberllull.cat/en/residenci... - in times like these let's celebrate curiosity across borders and encourage the next generation to wager kindness!

Welch ein Geschenk: Dr. Annika Eickhoff-Schachtebeck und Prof. Dr. Kerstin Strecker haben im Klett Verlag ein 127 Seiten starkes Themenheft für die Oberstufe zu Künstlicher Intelligenz und Machinellem Lernen herausgebracht, mit allen Programmierbeispielen in Snap! www.klett.de/produkt/isbn...

let Snap! blow your mind taking #MediaComp to the next level:

Come to Heidelberg this September for #SnapCon25! and tell us your ideas, show us your projects, share with us your insights and materials, spread the wisdom, the gimmicks and the awesomeness! The call for contributions is now open: www.snapcon.org/conferences/...

Combining first-class colors with hyperdimensional programming (aka linear algebra) is going to make project ideas like custom graphic effects so much more accessible for beginners in Snap!

Coming soon: #DataScience meets #MediaComp: Analyzing the frequency distribution of colors in an image in Snap!

I’m working on adding first-class colors to Snap! - here’s a sneak preview of how you’ll be able to compute color gradients.
