Artificial Intelligence (AI) Starter

Recommended age: 9+

In this Artificial Intelligence Starter course, students will learn about the basics of AI and machine learning (ML) through fun and engaging projects. Students will learn how to use AI models to classify images, sounds, and computer vision. Once the models are trained, students will incorporate the model's intelligence into projects like sorting things into the right bucket, and playing a physical snake game.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will have built mulitple ML models that identify many real world objeccts and sounds with high accuracy. Students will also learn about the importance of data and how to collect data to train their ML models, and from there, expand their skills to train different types of models to solve different problems. In turn, students will incorporate their models' intelligence to accomplish tasks in the physical world!

Teaching Style & Approach

Our approach is to develop well-rounded students. For younger students, the best way to learn is through fun, hands-on activities each class. At each level, students will get a balance of:

Art & Science: combining creativity with logical reasoning
Soft & Technical Skills: practicing a variety of skills including coding, problem solving, abstract thinking, communication and collaboration
Individual & Group Activities: working through challenges individually and as a group
Digital & Physical Activities: reinforcing concepts using digital and real-world activities
