GeoAI: Training a geospatial machine learning model start to finish

This all-day workshop will show you, step by step, how to build a machine learning model that can understand and use geographical data. This workshop is perfect for people who know some basic Python programming and are curious about machine learning and AI. We'll be using Python and Google Colab Notebooks for our exercises. Don't worry if you've never used Google Colab or Notebooks before; we'll help you get started. By the end of the day, you'll gain knowledge and hands-on experience to make your own geospatial machine-learning model. Learn in a fun and supportive setting!
