This season finale episode features interviews with two SSU computer science capstone teams applying AI/ML to real-world problems: Sean Belingheri's edge computing project using YOLO on a Raspberry Pi to identify queen bees for hobbyist beekeepers, and "The Woods Boys" team using satellite data from Google Earth Engine with multiple ML classifiers to automate land cover classification in Sonoma County.
