Get ready to explore how computers learn just like people do! In this hands-on, interactive program, young learners dive into the world of Machine Learning by training smart assistants, teaching computers new words, and exploring how machines interpret voices, drawings, and even emotions.
Through engaging projects like building voice-command systems and drawing interpreters, students will:
Understand how Machine Learning differs from regular programming
See how computers learn from inputs—including unexpected or “funny” ones
Explore how machines can act human-like, use confidence scores, and make clever decisions
Learn why AI sometimes gets things hilariously wrong and how to improve it
By the end of the program, students will:
✔ Grasp the fundamentals of how AI and Machine Learning work
✔ Develop digital thinking and problem-solving skills
✔ Apply creativity to real-world tech challenges
✔ Gain awareness of the ethics of teaching machines
No coding experience is required—just curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning!
Curriculum Overview
Foundations of Machine Learning: Build an understanding of how machines learn through engaging, hands-on activities and real-world examples.
Introduction to Data and Inputs: Explore how machines use different types of data like voice, drawings, and tone to make decisions.
Confidence, Decision-Making & Mistakes: Learn how machines make guesses, assign confidence scores, and sometimes get things hilariously wrong.
Human-Like AI Behaviours: Discover how we can teach machines to act and sound more like people through training and tone.
Creative Training Projects: Design and train your own mini AI assistants using simple tools to explore how input affects output.
