Dive into the world of artificial intelligence with this classroom-friendly activity that leverages Google’s Teachable Machine and Snap! programming. Without the need for robotics hardware, students will create and train an image recognition model, learning how AI systems process data and make predictions. This hands-on lesson is designed to make AI approachable and engaging for all learners!
Getting Started
This teacher-guided, whole-class lesson requires only a computer with internet access and a webcam — no robot needed. Students will train an image recognition model using Google’s Teachable Machine to identify different bird species, then use Snap! programming to create interactive projects.
