In Hack School 4: Debug + Deployment, we've finally finished up all of the code portions of our project. Now, we'll take what we have and put it up on the internet for anyone to freely view and play around with! We'll also be walking you through any commonly faced issues, as well as giving individual attention to anyone who is particularly struggling with any part of the project.

⚡🤖 Welcome back to class—AI style! 🎓✨ Get ready for AI School 2, where we’ll pull back the curtain on the algorithms that power today’s smartest systems. This session is all about the magic behind the math: ever wondered how machines learn from mistakes? 🧠➡️📉 We’ll dive into gradient descent (the algorithmic pathfinder) and backpropagation (the secret sauce of neural networks) in a way that’s hands-on, beginner-friendly, and a little bit mind-blowing 🚀🔍. No textbooks required—just curiosity, questions, and maybe a caffeine boost ☕⚡. Whether you’re coding your first neural net, brushing up on fundamentals, or just here to see what all the AI hype is about, this workshop has something for you. Come for the theory, stay for the “aha!” moments ✨💡—and leave with the tools to make your models actually learn.

In Hack School 3: Building APIs with Express, we’ll explore the backend side of web development and how it powers the frontend you’ve already built. You’ll learn how to set up a basic Express server, create your first GET and POST routes, and send data as JSON, the format websites use to talk to each other. We'll cover how frontend apps interact with APIs, and if time allows, hook up a simple frontend to test it live. No database, no stress, just clean, beginner-friendly backend fundamentals that connect to the web app we've been building throughout Hack School.

No loops? No problem. In this workshop, we'll dive into the ideas behind functional programming and what makes programming without state so powerful.

In this workshop, attendees will explore key design career paths (UX, UI, visual design, UX research, service design, etc.) and learn what each role involves, from tools to typical projects. By the end, they’ll identify a path that might resonates with them and leave with a personalized plan to start building experience in that area for the school year.

Just getting into AI and don’t know where to start? 🤔✨ Come to our “Introduction to AI Resources” workshop to get the ultimate starter pack for your AI journey 🧠🎒! We’ll cover tools and platforms like Ollama 🦙 and Hugging Face 🤗 — your new best friends for working with large language models and cutting-edge AI tech. You’ll learn how to run models locally, explore pre-trained models, fine-tune them, and discover a treasure trove of community resources to help you build smarter, faster, and more creatively 💡🚀. Whether you want to make chatbots 💬, explore vision models 📸, or just see what’s possible with today’s AI tools 🌐, this is the perfect workshop to kick things off. No experience? No problem 🛟 — we’ll walk you through everything step-by-step. Come get plugged into the world of AI with ACM AI ⚡🧩!

In Hack School 2: Databases, we'll introduce you to MongoDB, one of the most common document database technologies in web development. This is the beginning of the backend development process. You'll learn how to set up a database, store user data, retrieve that data and some neat tricks in JavaScript like Object Destructuring and Async/Await Promises!

ACM AI Odd One Out takes inspiration from the Jubilee videos, where students are separated into groups of six and try to figure out who is using an LLM to respond to questions! Each round, those who are still in the game can choose to either end the game, or continue to vote people out. The LLM user wins if they are still in the game when it ends, and the other players win otherwise.
