Teach a small machine-learning model with your own examples. Test it. Then try to break it \u2014 and when it fails, work out why, give it a better example, and test it again. In about three minutes you will have done the real work of building AI: choosing the evidence, questioning a confident answer, and deciding when to trust it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two ways to play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Live Vision Lab<\/strong> \u2014 at the Open House table, with a camera pointed down at two piles of cards. Teach it, then turn a card, cover it, change the background, and watch what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Accessible Data Lab<\/strong> \u2014 on any phone or computer, no camera needed. Train on readings such as temperature and vibration, then take the model somewhere your examples never went. Same lesson, same three minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Privacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Camera privacy: The camera is used only for this activity. Images are processed in this browser and are not saved or uploaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Future Forge asks for no name, email or account, and keeps no record of your visit. Everything runs inside your own browser; nothing is sent anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every step works from the keyboard and with a screen reader. Nothing requires a camera, a mouse, sound or a quick reaction. Charts have text equivalents, and motion is reduced when your device asks for it. Future Forge is designed toward WCAG 2.2 AA.
