Algorithms run our world. Almost everything around us is a result of "algorithms". So what is an algorithm? In this class we will examine what algorithms are with a special focus on artificial intelligence algorithms. Learners will leave the course with a good grasp of what algorithms are which they will use in any programming class they take in the future. Day 1 In the first day we will introduce the concept of algorithms, mostly from a non-AI perspective. Learners will learn to make "pseudo code" algorithms. Homework for second week: Make a simple algorithm on paper Day 2: Today we will introduce Snap and try and turn our homework into Snap algorithms. Snap is a Scratch-style coding platform. Day 3: We will explore various artificial intelligence algorithms. Learners will get an introduction to various algorithm, like Deep Learning. After this class learners will have an idea of the various AI algorithms and a high-level idea on how they work. Day 4: We will build a simple Snap AI program using decision trees Day 5: We will finish our Snap AI program. *** Thinking Machines Courses *** This course is a part of a suite of classes around the concept of thinking machines. The purpose of these courses is to prepare students for technological change driven by true thinking machines. The classes range from discussing ethics and moral to programming classes all with the same goal of opening a new world of opportunities for the students and to get them curious about the world of tomorrow.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Fellow Learners!
My name is Mounir Shita - but you can call me Mo (trust me, it is scientifically proven to be easier to pronounce). I have been amazed and intrigued by thinking machines since I was a teenager. As an adult, I've made it my career to research and develop thinking machines.
I've spent over 20 years researching real thinking machines, built a lot of technology, started my own "AI" companies and even been involved in government "AI" programs.
In Outschool I hope to contribute to make you curious science, especially intelligent machines. I will teach classes ranging from introduction to artificial intelligence and thinking machines, to ethics (is it good or bad?) to teaching you how to build your own AI-powered games.Reviews
