In this 4-week live course, students will explore the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) using Scratch, a block-based coding platform. They will develop interactive projects by integrating text, image, and audio models with AICode101, creating AI-powered animations, games, and storytelling experiences. Each session introduces a unique AI concept, allowing students to train AI to recognize text, identify images, and interpret audio inputs. By the end of the course, learners will have built a portfolio of AI-enhanced Scratch projects that demonstrate their creativity and problem-solving skills. What Will Be Taught? Students will learn how to: ✅ Apply AI-powered tools in Scratch to create interactive projects. ✅ Use text recognition for chat-based AI interactions. ✅ Implement audio-based AI for speech recognition and movement control. ✅ Train AI to identify images and categorize objects. ✅ Understand how AI interacts with user inputs in real-world applications. Topics Covered 📌 Text-Based AI – AI chatbots, intelligent responses, and decision-making. 📌 Audio-Based AI – Speech recognition, voice commands, and dynamic movement. 📌 Image-based AI – Object recognition, labeling, and interactive learning. 📌 AI-Powered Storytelling & Games – Create immersive, smart Scratch projects. How Is the Class Structured? 📝 8 live sessions (2 per week for 4 weeks) ✅ Live coding demonstrations to guide students through AI project development. ✅ Hands-on app-building exercises where students experiment with AI models. ✅ Group discussions, Q&A, and troubleshooting support in every session. ✅ A final showcase where students present their AI-powered projects. Teaching Method & Style 👩🏫 Project-Based Learning – Each lesson focuses on one AI-powered project for hands-on experience. 🎮 Interactive & Fun – Students will engage in games, challenges, and storytelling using AI. 💡 Creative Problem-Solving – Learners experiment with AI models to customize their projects. 🤝 Collaborative Learning – Group discussions and shared projects encourage peer interaction. Learner Interaction ✔ Live instruction and step-by-step guidance. ✔ Hands-on coding exercises in each session. ✔ Peer collaboration through discussions and project-sharing. ✔ Instructor feedback and troubleshooting to enhance understanding. Why Join? 🚀 No prior AI experience required – suitable for beginners. 🤖 Explore AI creatively with Scratch – build intelligent, interactive projects. 📱 Engage with text, audio, and image-based AI models. 🎓 Gain essential coding and AI skills in a fun, hands-on way.
