Train AI. Build in Scratch: Complete Machine Learning Unit
What if your students could train a real AI – then make it play a game they built themselves?In this week-long, project-based unit, students don’t just watch videos about artificial intelligence. They build it. Using the free Machine Learning for Kids platform and Scratch, students train their own text or image classifier, then create an interactive Scratch app that responds to what the AI “sees” or “reads.” No previous AI experience required. No paid tools. Just curiosity and a computer.
