Artificial Intelligence
Train Your First Smart Models
Course Overview
Students discover what artificial intelligence really is and build their own smart projects without needing heavy coding. Using PictoBlox AI and Teachable Machine, they train models to recognise images, gestures, and sounds, then connect those models to interactive projects that react to the real world.
What you'll learn
- Understand what artificial intelligence and machine learning mean
- See how computers learn from examples instead of fixed rules
- Collect and label data to train a simple model
- Train an image, gesture, or sound recognition model
- Connect a trained AI model to an interactive Scratch/PictoBlox project
- Recognise everyday uses of AI and discuss using it responsibly
- Test, improve, and present a working AI-powered project
Final Outcome
A working AI-powered project the student trained from scratch — recognising images, gestures, or sounds and reacting to them live.
The Final Project
An interactive AI project that recognises the student's own images, gestures, or voice — demonstrated live with the model they trained.
Tools & Platforms
Learning Approach
Hands-on, block-based AI building. Students train models with their own data and see results instantly, learning the ideas behind machine learning through play.
