Using Cognitive Services and Mario Kart to Create "Astrology" with Chloe Condon

Chloe Condon is a Cloud Advocate at Microsoft. Before attending Hackbright Academy and making the career switch into tech, she spent her nights and weekends on-stage as a musical theatre actress. She is passionate about bringing folks with non-traditional and creative backgrounds into technical spaces, and loves to find ways to teach and demo technical examples in quirky and humorous ways.

Have you ever wanted to learn more about cognitive services, but donโ€™t know where to start? Then this is the talk for you! Iโ€™ll walk you through how to make your own โ€œastrologyโ€ using images of cosplay characters, and share my story of how I created my own horoscopes with Mario Kart players- watch out for any stray banana peels! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ„โญ๏ธ๐Ÿข๐ŸŒ

Here is a download link to the talk slides (PDF)


This talk will be presented as part of CodeLand:Distributed on July 23. After the talk is streamed as part of the conference, it will be added to this post as a recorded video.

I never get to pick first, so I never get to be Princess Peach or Yoshi because my kids choose them, so I end up being Luigi. I'm not important enough in the family to choose Mario. Besides, I usually lose.

The concept behind this project is ridiculous but I am 100% here for it! You've inspired me to run with whatever crazy, tweet joke ideas I come up with.
