Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere—from personalized recommendations and voice-activated devices to smart home systems, self-driving cars, and beyond. In this engaging class, students will cultivate machine learning skills by exploring AI and coding through interactive projects. With a blend of hands-on digital and “unplugged” activities, they’ll tap into their creativity, becoming not just consumers, but knowledgeable and inventive creators of AI. Here’s what we’ll explore: - What is artificial intelligence (AI)? - How does machine learning work? - How will AI shape my life and my community? - What should we consider when creating AI applications? - How can we ensure AI is safe, equitable, and respects privacy? - What can I do with AI? - How do you train an AI application? Students will discover how to harness generative AI tools as intelligent tutors, problem-solvers, and even as aids for proofreading and organizing their work. This class not only focuses on coding but also emphasizes ethical considerations and responsible AI usage, preparing students for the ever-changing tech world.

Parental Guidance
Remember to keep your private information private - for example, no last names, home cities, or gaming handles shared within the classroom. Please review with your student before class.
Google Quick Draw: This is a game built with machine learning. You draw, and a neural network tries to guess what you’re drawing. Web-based and does not require a login to use.
Google Teachable Machine: A web-based tool that makes creating machine learning models fast, easy, and accessible to everyone. When you train the model, it trains in your browser tab without sending anything to any servers. If you close your tab, nothing is saved in your browser or on any servers. No login required.
Machine Learning for Kids: Using "Try it now" to means there is no need to log on or create an account. We will be storing your training examples on your own computer (in your web browser). No login is required. This program integrates with a special version of Scratch 3.0 that integrates Google's Teachable Machine as mentioned above. Projects can only be saved to your harddrive and will not work with the web-based Scratch program.
Use of ChatGPT and other LLMs will be shared from the teacher's shared screen for observation and collaboration. Students will not be accessing ChatGPT during this class from their own device.
Considering the different forms of bias and ethical challenges of AI applications in K-12 settings, we will touch on problems of privacy, surveillance, autonomy, bias, and discrimination.
Supply List
It is strongly encouraged to have two devices. One device for Zoom (laptop, desktop computer, smartphone or tablet) and a second device for projects. Computer WebCam Microphone Keyboard

Great teachers form strong relationships with their students by engaging them in the subjects they are passionate about. I have always been a logical thinker who enjoys science, math, technology, and engineering both for work and play.
I worked as an engineer for companies like Frito-Lay, Anheuser-Busch, Amgen as a consultant for many years improving their systems with automation and equipment. Once I became a parent, I began teaching extra-curricular classes as a way to have more time at home, but stay involved in subjects that bring me joy.
Realizing that by being warm, professional, and enthusiastic, I can engage students. My creative lessons and strong classroom presence help build student confidence while increasing interest in subjects that may otherwise seem intimidating.
I have completed Professional Development courses on AI, such as "Preparing to Teach Coding with AI" from code.org and "Creating a Spark for AI" from IBM + mSLReviews
