Are your students curious about artificial intelligence (AI)? Check out these activities:
Science Projects:
- Happy or Sad? Use Artificial Intelligence to Classify Faces: Explore how an AI system is trained by experimenting with Teachable Machine to teach a web-based tool to classify images of faces as “happy” or “sad.”
- Can Humans Recognize ChatGPT’s AI-Generated Text?: Have people respond to texts to investigate whether or not a reader (or listener) can tell if a text is authored by AI or by a human.
- Identify Road Signs with Machine Learning: Use machine learning to train a system to recognize different types of road signs. Students investigate the many variables involved and the role of neural networks in machine learning. (A short activity is also available.)
- Build a Voice-Controlled Lamp: Experiment with speech recognition technology by using Arduino to program a lamp for voice-activated control.
- Teaching the Computer to Play Tic-Tac-Toe: Code a Tic-Tac-Toe game that can be played against an AI opponent.
- Drive a Race Car with Machine Learning*: Train a machine learning model for AWS DeepRacer. (View other projects and activities related to building, testing, and training self-driving cars.)
Lesson Plans:
- Happy or Sad? Exploring Bias in Machine Learning: Investigate how repeatable and systematic bias errors can appear in machine learning.
- Computer Simulation of an Artificial Neural Network: This lesson for high school students covers artificial intelligence, neural networks, and machine learning. Students run simulations of the perceptron neural network and are challenged to identify weaknesses and find ways to improve the system.
Activity:
- Imagine Ways that Artificial Intelligence Could Change the World: Guide students in an activity to explore the possible uses and risks of AI.
