 Week 4
Lesson 4
Emotion Recognition
Students create models that can recognize emotions of faces using image recognition. 
Topics covered:
○	Creating image recognition models
○	Represent confidence of prediction visually in Scratch
○	Understand the importance of quality training data 
Project: Train an image recognition machine learning model to recognize emotions in drawings of faces and use Scratch to display the confidence of results.
 Week 5
Lesson 5
Ask an Animal: 
Students will create an animal chatbot that answers questions about a topic they choose.
Topics covered:
○	Creating rule-based text matching models
○	Creating data-based machine learning models
○	Comparison of rule-based and data-based solutions
○	Creating chatbots that respond to natural speech
Project: Create an animal chatbot that responds intelligently by using text recognition machine learning to understand the question that was asked.
 Week 6
Lesson 6
Riddle Master
Students create a game in which you have to respond correctly to riddles to progress and use sound recognition to detect correct answers.
Topics covered:
○	Creating sound recognition machine learning models
○	Recording voice clips for training data
○	Using Scratch to listen for only one answer at a time in a series of questions
Project: Create a puzzle game that requires you to answer a series of riddles correctly and in the right order in order to reach the treasure.
 Week 7
Lesson 7
How Are You Doing
Students learn how to do basic sentiment analysis, and compare rule-based methods with data-based methods of recognizing emotions in text.
Topics covered:
○	Creating rule-based text matching models
○	Creating data-based machine learning models
○	Comparison of rule-based and data-based solutions
○	Creating characters that respond to emotions in natural speech
Project: Create a character in Scratch that understands how you are feeling based on input text and displays the same emotion.
 Week 8
Lesson 8
Maze Game
Students will compete to “train” a mouse to finish a maze the fastest using only voice commands and sound recognition machine learning models in Scratch.
Topics covered:
○	Creating sound recognition machine learning models
○	Recording voice clips for training data
○	Using Scratch to listen for one of several commands, and complete the action before moving on
○	Optimizing the performance of a machine learning model
 Week 9
Lesson 9
Face Unlock
Students simulate the face unlock biometric security feature in some common devices by training an image recognition model. 
Topics covered:
○	Creating image recognition models
○	Understand how face unlock technology applies machine learning 
Project: Train an image recognition machine learning model to recognize your face in an image and apply this to a mock face unlock app in Scratch.
 Week 10
Lesson 10
Final Project
Students demonstrate what they’ve learned by sharing their creation with the class. They can get feedback from peers and the instructor, and get suggestions on how to make the project even better.
