Today is the beginning of the Consumer Electronics Show.. one of the biggest trade shows in the world.. I heard this year 140,000 peopkle are going. I have a big interest this year .. my friend Lisa\u00a0 from AMD\u00a0 is giving the kick off keynote.. . AMD has been an amazing sponsor of our work at Hackclub.. and we are SO grateful.
In mid December,\u00a0 AMD and Hackclub put on a hardware AI hackathon we called Prototype.\u00a0 THe entire event was organized by Hackclub members .. all under 19 years old or younger.\u00a0 \u00a0I helped with the organization and spent 72 hours there beign the hardwre supply guy.\u00a0 THe goal was to use an AMD AI PC and an open osurece robotic arm to do some incrediible things.\u00a0

Tonight Lisa chose to end her keynote by bringing the three winning teams from the hackathon to CES.. and braought our first place team up on stage !.\u00a0 This team\u00a0 built an amazing ‘drink machine’ that used ai to drive the robotic\u00a0 arm\u00a0 to randomly choose a soda type,\u00a0 \u00a0find the corresponding by AI viaion, pick up the correct can and deliver it to the user. Like all the other projects at Prototype this project was done in less than 3 days. I was so porud for the hackclubers and what they accomplished.. and so very grateful to Lisa and AMD for showcasing the need to build more AI hardware talent in this country. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
