TuneScope (tunescope.org) is an extension of Snap! with additional music blocks. (Note: it is possible that by the conference, these ...

The presented Low-Code minimal metaverse controlled by Snap! has been developed to help postgraduate students to understand the notion of I4.0 components, which are the fundamental building blocks of Industry 4.0...

Consider the task of searching the Snap! manual. String matching cannot take into account synonyms, different ways of saying the same thing, or different spelling conventions. In this Snap! project sentence embeddings are used to compare the user's quer...

The International Space Station (ISS) circles the earth many times a day at an altitude of about 250 miles. It continuously streams data down to Mission Control in Houston. The ISS National Laboratory has teamed up with UC Berkeley to build engaging cur...

Yuan Garcia

In this lightning talk, I will advocate for things that could improve how users get help in Snap!:

• Fill in the gaps of missing help screens. That is, there’s no help screens for “reshape”, or any dropdown menu functions (e.g., under “sqrt”, or “len...

Ken Kahn

Using Snap!'s primitive to POST messages one can access machine learning models to incorporate AI services to

• Translate between languages.
• Classify text into categories you choose.
• Produce a summary of text.
• Hold a conversation.
• Quer...

The Absraction Obstruction, or Is The Beginning The End or Can We Get To The Destination If We Haven't even arrived at the Start Yet?

I can't code. I've tried for years to do it, but text based languages drive me up the wall, and then I discovere...

A pair of NetsBlox services provide a variety of options to Wordle and Snap!/NetsBlox enthusiasts to engage with the new favorite pastime of our time. The WordGuess service lets the user start a new game by making the server pick a word. If it is a 5-le...

This Lightning Talk is a program that makes it possible to learn the principles of artificial intelligence using block programming. In most cases, AI is implemented through text programming (eg Python), but a small number of learners learn the principle...

• Significance and Relevance of the Topic: The educational environment is being completely changed by Covid-19. The problems the world faces today have become difficult to solve with human power alone. Humans need very much cooperation with software (...

(This could also be a 20 minute talk where I show the 2 projects)

In this workshop, I want to show how to create a pixel graphic drawing program for Turtlestitch: https://www.turtlestitch.org/run#cloud:Username=jadga&ProjectName=Karten%20Hopp The pr...

With the block-based programming language Snap!, playful and visual programming projects can be realised in lessons at different grade levels. The focus for the pupils is on development and programming. For the teacher, however, the subsequent problem i...

As “Snap! is Scheme disguised as Scratch” we should be able to do evolutionary programming pretty easily: We all know the creation of the “vee” where we shuffle around some kind of L(indenmayer)-expressions. How about adding a fitness function and let a...

Yuan Garcia, Dan Garcia

This is a show-your-project submission, we won't need any more than 3 minutes. We made a dashed-line function that lets you change the line pattern to any kind of dashed line (solid1, space1, solid2, space2, etc). We think of this as an extension of the...

Ken Kahn

This implements a conversation with GPT-3 or Jurassic 1. It adds a prompt to keep the conversation friendly and adds the recent conversation (or a designed one if the conversation is new). You can use any of the 4 GPT-3 models or either of the 2 Jurassi...

Michael Ball

I'll demo how to use Snap! 8 features to get an overview of the blocks used in student projects.

Brian Broll

An interactive project for training a generator and discriminator interactively (using a simple "circle classifier" rather than a full-blown neural network).

I've always been fond of isometric 3D projections (in which cubes look like three symmetric 60º-120º-60º-120º rhombi) https://ww...

Brian Broll

This is a simple game where the user is trying to find the minimum of an unknown function. This is a prerequisite to some of the ML work used to develop intuition about gradient descent before learning about it explicitly.

Simulations of models of dynamic systems always have the same structure. I present a simple framework (a prototype) to make simulations of various models. https://snap.berkeley.edu/snap/snap.html#present:Username=jowede&ProjectName=a%20simulation%20system

This project demos how hyper blocks make it very fast to do image convolutions. https://snap.berkeley.edu/embed?project=Image%20Convolution%20with%20Hyperblocks&user=cycomachead&showTitle=true&showAuthor=true&editButton=true&pauseButton=true

Brian Broll

This project starts as a Parson's problem for implementing the DT-building algorithm. Then we visualize the tree learned from a synthetic Twitter dataset and a real-world phishing dataset.
