# AI-Powered Urban Farm Fest

Sheda and Braneshop are excited to invite you to the AI-Powered Urban Farm Fest. In hands-on workshops, you will explore the practical use of AI, computer vision, and the internet of things to build urban farms in the heart of Melbourne. In the course of the event, you will build and interact with automated farming systems and learn how AI and automation can support the self-management of these systems, with a view to becoming a crop-grower in your own home!

The event is planned for **November 28, 2019** with a proposed venue at **Testing Grounds**.
