Today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape demands innovative solutions. Reinforcement learning, a key area of artificial intelligence, is driving breakthroughs in automation, decision-making, and optimization.

This course focuses in "The Future of Coding," combining applied research, innovation, and digitalization to explore the potential of reinforcement learning.

The course "The Future of Coding" consists of three main parts:

• Theoretical Part: Explore the role of reinforcement learning in shaping the future of AI and explore the latest research and emerging trends in reinforcement learning.
• Practical Part: Gain hands-on experience with reinforcement learning using AWS DeepRacer and develop a understanding of how agents learn through trial and error.
• Exercise Part: Put your skills to the test by challenging fellow participants with your optimized code to achieve the fastest lap time with AWS DeepRacer.
