The CIS division has trained 2,926 community members since 2015! We have been consistent in offering multiple outreaches to the community on a monthly basis in the area of STEM. Below is a breakdown of how many people we have reached since December 2015.
 The concept of Tech Expo 2019 is to expose Rock Valley College students to local top businesses that hire people with IT skills taught at Rock Valley College. In addition, students will learn the concept and importance of buliding networking skills.
Local business leaders will discuss skills required to work in their unique environments and give advice on the importance of taking the right courses while taking advantage of internships while being a student at Rock Valley College. In addition, DISCOVER what SKILLS local companies are looking for and LEARN about the courses Rock Valley College offers where students learn those required skills. Register Today! Visit https://rvctechexpo.com The RVC Hour of Code has reached 750 K-12 students since December 2015. It is a FREE monthly, public workshop we have offered since December 2015. We have had The objective of the RVC Hour of Code is to demystify Computer Science for mainly students in K-12. However, we have entire families that attend each month and learn together. The RVC Hour of Code is offered the first Tuesday of the month at Cherryvale mall. This is the second year the mall has graciously volunteered to offer us space, setup the tables and chairs and provided power and wifi. If you want to volunteer to help email Chuck Konkol at c.konkol@rockvalleycollege.edu Website and RSVP: http://rvchourofcode.com   Learning CodeThe language used to control drones can be Swift, Python, Javascript or Blockly. Since Blockly is a good platform to understand programming logic we started with that. We used the iPad app Tello EDU to create the code that controlled the drone. Programming logicThe first app created to control the drone was what we called "Hello Drone"! The code blocks used launched the drone, went up 100 cm, make a 360 degree turn, them finally land.  SuccessEvery club member completed the app and successfully launched the Hello app.  Voter registration will be available in the WTC lobby next week. This is an activity brought to you by PAIC.
Plan on registering to vote on one of the below dates! Monday, September 10 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, September 11 noon to 1 p.m. 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Two forms of ID are needed.

The first kit is Voice and the second kit is Visual artificial intelligence. Both kits have users put together a cardboard kit with required hardware such as a raspberry pi, microphone, and camera using TensorFlow neural network. In addition, Google provides multiple demo Python files to test machine learning results for both audio and visual input. Visual AIProfessor Konkol has purchased and successfully put together the Visual AIY Kit demonstrating the ability of the TensorFlow neural network to recognize objects and faces. In addition, Konkol has begun using Python code to experiment with other real world use cases. The most recent real-world use case is recognition of handicap individuals as they approach doors triggering a door opening actuator. The real-world solutions are endless and Google has given the tools to solve real world problems with Artificial Intelligence. Resource Links
Testing of object recognition like seen below show the correct category "orange" being selected. AI could replace the current system used in grocery stores of manually looking up produce to determine a product code.
