Class Experience

This course will help middle schoolers understand the basics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) - helping them relate to the field and understand the potential it has to positively impact their lives! We will cover several topics in AI focusing on ML - a brief history of it's evolution, different approaches, steps involved etc - all with a focus on application/uses. Over the course, students will also understand how probability and statistics as subjects relate to this field. No understanding of probability or statistics is obviously expected, this is a beginner's class to help students start understanding and appreciating the field!

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a business leader with a global technology firm, with over 20 years of experience in banking and financial services technology. With a Bachelor's Degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering and an MBA, I believe in technology as an enabler to businesses and consumers. I am passionate about the potential that Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings to us humans, as a true enabler to make our lives and work more meaningful. I also strongly believe in the concept of Responsibility in the field of AI. I have authored a few online courses, have tutored middle school kids in Math, and most importantly, love teaching my 9-year old daughter!

Continuous learning is the essence of success, and students need to be motivated to embrace this philosophy. This cannot happen without them developing a true interest in the relevant subject. So, my focus would be to make it easy for students to understand and appreciate technology - thus helping them make the right choices from the perspective of their future career or from the perspective of them as a technology user!

What motivated me to enroll at Outschool was the initial experience my 9 year old daughter had on this platform! And from a teaching style angle, what drives me is her consistent feedback to me that classes need to be fun and engaging to ensure that students don't doze off :)
