Coding with Machine Learning
Kids, take a thrilling adventure into the awesome world of coding with the magic of machine learning (ML)! Discover the incredible ML models, unravel the secrets of data patterns, and conjure up fantastic interactive projects using Scratch. It’s coding made super fun and exciting, just for you!
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)?
The course will start with the foundation of AI and ML. Kids will learn why we use ML instead of traditional programming for our projects.
Sorting Animal Pictures
Learn about image recognition and train the computer to recognize objects in a photo and then have it automatically sort pictures of animals.
Playing Rock, Paper, Scissors Against Your Computer
A small project where kids will use a webcam to train an ML system to recognize different hand shapes so kids can play Rock, Paper, Scissors against the computer.
Recognizing Movie Posters
Kids will learn to train computers to recognize artistic styles, not just objects, in pictures. After training a computer to judge a book by its cover, kids will find out whether computers can learn to be creative.
Mail Sorting
Our instructors will teach how computers can learn to recognize writing. Then kids will build a simple system that uses handwriting recognition to sort envelopes.
Insulating a Computer
Kids will learn how computers can be trained to recognize tone in writing. They will train a computer game character to recognize and react to your compliments and insults.
Recognizing Language in Newspapers
Here, kids will train a computer to recognize different styles of writing to predict which newspaper an article probably came from. We’ll also discuss ways of measuring how good an ML system is.
Finding an Object in the Picture
Build on earlier projects and discover how to train a computer to find a smaller object in a picture. We’ll talk about some of the ways that this technique is used in real-world applications like processing satellite images and training self-driving cars
Smart Assistants
See how computers can be trained to recognize the meaning of text, and how this technology is used to program smart assistants. kids will make a simple assistant that can understand kids’ commands to turn different things on and off.
Chatbots
Kids will now learn about chatbots, and how computers that can recognize the meaning of text can be used to build question–answering systems.
Avoiding the Monster
Explore how computer games have been used to develop AI technologies. kids will train an ML system to play a simplified version of Pac-Man.
Tic Tac Toe
Another example of computer games and AI. Kids will re-create a version of a famous AI research project to train a computer to play Tic Tac Toe.
Confusing the Computer
Finally, kids will see firsthand how ML projects most commonly go wrong, by creating your own confused AI system that makes mistakes. kids will learn about the problems this causes and the steps we can take to avoid it.
