This link is not working. It takes me to 'Registration is closed page' (Maryleen).
Yeah, same for me.
I used this: https://turing-uk.zoom.us/w/99350402372?tk=4RAsFFjfWeyWq_P19i_7lWjNnqs9oKFGYO_Mz7Eq0AA.DQMAAAAXIb7VRBZFdEszUnBSMlJmYThvY0ZDNHNGMWJRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA&pwd=RW5IV1RLTnpMZVdpdFBrV2lXdVBJQT09
Thanks, that worked for me
You're welcome

**Call recording reminder:**
Please note that this call will be recorded and live streamed to YouTube. Turn on your webcam if you don’t mind being in the video (or off if you do!).

**Participation reminder:**
[Code of conduct & community participation guidelines](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/ds-ai-educators-programme/blob/main/code-of-conduct.md).If you experience or witness unacceptable behaviour, or have any other concerns, please report them by contacting the organisers - Ayesha, Mishka, Matt or Malvika ([e-mail]).

**Presentation reminder:**
In preparation for the sessions, we ask that you kindly prepare a short, 3-minute presentation about your time on the Data Science and AI Educators’ Programme. Slides are optional. We have prepared a selection of prompts to help you cover some of the information that you might like to share with your peers:
- _What is/are your highlight/s from the programme?_
- _How will you apply some of your learning(s) from the programme to your line of work?_
- _How do you intend to use the programme to impact your community?_
- _How can other participants from the programme collaborate with you/get to know you better once the programme has finished?_

## Programme reflections :film_projector:

Please keep your presentation to 3 minutes :alarm_clock: and add your information in the following format:

### 1. Martin Goodfellow // University of Strathclyde, Director of Undergraduate Teaching/Teaching Fellow in Computer and Information Sciences // [e-mail] // https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-goodfellow-01b95946

- **Links/resources that you'd like to share with others.**

Below I've included various educational tools I use to introduce students to topics in data science and AI and hopefully get them interested in these areas:
- For introducing people to programming: https://blockly.games/maze
- Education game about bias in AI: https://www.survivalofthebestfit.com/
- A platform for gathering a human perspective on moral decisions made by machine intelligence, such as self-driving cars: https://www.moralmachine.net/
- Quickly create ML models: https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/
- Various educational experiments: https://experiments.withgoogle.com/collection/ai

I've also included a very useful library for making deep learning more accessible (built on top of PyTorch):
- https://www.fast.ai/

- **How can others help you as you move forward in your role as an educator?**
- I'm looking to be more involved in Data Science and AI education research so if you're looking for any collaborators then please get in touch.
- Share any interesting teaching tools or resources they discover
- Collaborate on teaching materials
- Collaborate on developing open source software tools to assist with teaching

- **Questions and comments from the audience.**
-
- Funding for education research
- SICSE? Sorry SICSA https://www.sicsa.ac.uk/
- Interested in collaborating on DS/AI research
- Sharing interesting teaching tools.

- **Links/resources that you'd like to share with others.**
- This is my departments webpage: https://info.lse.ac.uk/current-students/digital-skills-lab
- For R users, I recommend the [R slack channel](https://twitter.com/R4DScommunity?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor)
- My favourite data science books are [R for Data Science](https://r4ds.had.co.nz/) and the [ggplot2 book](https://ggplot2-book.org/)
- If you are more into Python, [Python for Data Analysis](https://wesmckinney.com/book/) is pretty good, as is the [Python for Data Science book](https://jakevdp.github.io/PythonDataScienceHandbook/)
- [Quarto](https://quarto.org/) is the new kid on the block when it comes to making reports, presentations, books and such. It is built on R Markdown (an incredible tool), and now you can do R Markdown like things but you don't need R.
- **How can others help you as you move forward in your role as an educator?**
- To embrace and try out other teaching styles
- To learn and develop my skills and knowledge in Data Science
- To help me love Python like I love R (disclosure: this will be a hard sell due to R's data viz capabilities)
- To share and collaborate on learning materials
- **Questions and comments from the audience.**
