Shy Panda: Machine Learning With Scratch Project (One-Time), Ages 7-12

In this interactive and fun project, students will make a dancing panda. It’ll be a shy panda, that will get embarrassed and stop dancing if it sees you looking in through the window. Students will train a machine learning model so that if you cover your eyes, it’ll recognize that you’re not looking and the panda will keep dancing. 

To start the class, students will be introduced to classification, a type of machine learning that categorizes data into different classes. Then they will train a machine learning model to classify if they are looking into their webcam or covering their eyes with their hand. Next step, students will take their trained model and code in Scratch to implement the model with the dancing panda. 

This class will have your learner giggling throughout the class while learning about an essential machine learning concept! 

 Please note that this class has a minimum enrollment of 2 learners.
