We all know about the Odyssey and all those mythical heroes...
But behind every successful hero sits a programmer, trying to figure out WHY THE F*** won't the hero's boat move in the right direction.
Welcome aboard, hero-coder.
In this workshop you'll hone your Python skills by writing agents that autonomously play games! Compete to solve the most games in 3 hours.
How it works:
There will be 9 games where you'll write code that runs dozens of times a second and decides which action to take next. The games vary in complexity and familiarity - you'll meet snake, pong 3D, and a host of other games. Be the first to solve them all!

Target audience –Developers
I started my career as a programmer in the IDF, where I had the opportunity to take on a rich range of roles: full-stack developer, team lead, and programming course commander.
After being released from the IDF I got into the world of data science and machine learning, in an Israeli nutrition startup that was later acquired by Medtronic, a big medical device company.
I then ventured out on my own as a freelance machine learning practitioner, and now I work with several startups on computer vision / ML problems. In addition I work with Nitzanim (https://nitzanim.tech) as the CTO, helping to create and improve tech-ed programs for youth.
Bachelor's degree in computer science from the Open University, Master's degree in machine learning & data science from Reichman University.
And I have a blog! It's got quite a few posts in Python, too. https://andersource.dev
