AI: Let's Try It!
ONLINE:
In this activity, you will use Google’s Teachable Machine to create a Machine Learning (ML) model that can tell if a banana is ripe or not. Machine Learning is a scientific field that offers computers the ability to learn without being programmed directly. Teachable Machine is a web-based tool that makes creating machine learning models fast and easy.

UNPLUGGED:
In this activity from Classic Computer Science Unplugged, you will explore how a computer can be programmed to be “intelligent” by playing a game of tic-tac-toe (noughts-and-crosses) as directed by “the intelligent piece of paper”.
This activity teaches the concept of algorithms which are sequences of steps to be followed in a given order, producing a desired effect. Everything computers do to seem “intelligent” is because they are following algorithms written by humans.
