■About Today's Title Phrase
What is AI? What is programming?
In this workshop, we'll use a Scratch extension that has been pre-trained on "faces" using machine learning to create digital masks!
■Making "Omen" the Old-Fashioned Way
Before we get into programming, let's try making the "Omen" mentioned in today's title using a stamp called "Eponte."
What kind of face do you think we made with 〇△□?
Even though we used the same tools, each piece turned out completely different!
*Eponte is a stamp created by CANVAS in collaboration with Shachihata.
