Today, we will discuss how we can use AI to solve real-world problems. Can anyone tell me what they think an AI project might involve?
I think it could be about building models that recognize things, like faces or sounds.
Yes, or even categorizing information based on AI predictions!
Exactly! Projects can range from simple models to complex systems that address challenges like pollution. Let's dive into a specific example, shall we?
Building an AI Model

One of the projects is to create an AI model. Has anyone heard of Teachable Machine by Google?
I think I've used it for some fun experiments, but what exactly can it do?
Great question! Teachable Machine allows you to train a model with images, sounds, or poses. Let's remember it with the acronym T-MAP — Teachable Machine Activates Projects.
That's a handy memory aid! What data types can we use?
You can use images, sounds, or text. Each type offers a different learning experience. It helps us understand datasets and how machines learn. Who can recall the steps to create a model?
First, we choose the data type, then collect our samples, train the model and finally test it!
Perfect! Let's keep that process clear with the mnemonic C-T-T-P — Collect, Train, Test, Present.
Solving Problems Related to Sustainable Development

Now, let's pivot to our second project about solving problems tied to Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs. Can anyone list a few problems we could tackle?
Pollution is a big one! We see it everywhere.
What about water wastage? That’s a big issue too!
Excellent! Let's remember these problems with the acronym P-W-E-T — Pollution, Water wastage, Energy consumption, Traffic congestion. What steps should we take to address a chosen issue?
We need to identify who is affected, what the problem is, where it's happening, and why it matters!
Yes! This is part of creating a 4Ws canvas. Understanding these elements is crucial for finding effective AI solutions.
Data Collection and Visualization

Once we've identified the problem, we need to collect data. What tools do you think we can use for data visualization?
Excel is a great tool for that!
What about Google Sheets? It's easy and online!
Exactly! Both are excellent for recording and visualizing data. Let’s summarize this step with the acronym D-R-V — Data Record, Visualize.
This helps to see patterns, right?
Absolutely! Finding patterns is crucial to understanding our AI-enabled solution.
Presenting AI Solutions

Finally, after building your solution, it’s time to present your findings. Why do you think sharing our projects is important?
It helps us communicate our ideas clearly to others!
And we can get feedback to improve on our projects.
Exactly! Presentation is key in communicating solutions and learning experiences effectively. To emphasize, let’s remember P-C (Present and Communicate).
I can’t wait to share what we’ve learned through these projects!
Introduction & Overview
Read summaries of the section's main ideas at different levels of detail.
Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, students are introduced to various project ideas that involve building AI models and finding solutions to problems related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The projects foster creativity, critical thinking, and the application of AI tools, helping students to understand both technology and sustainability.
Detailed
Example Ideas
In this part of Chapter 22, students are encouraged to explore application-based projects related to Artificial Intelligence (AI). The two primary projects outlined are focused on creating an AI model and solving real-world issues linked to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The projects not only serve to apply theoretical knowledge but also emphasize creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. The suggested tools include Teachable Machine by Google and Machine Learning for Kids, both designed for ease of use in building AI models. The projects culminate in the creation of solutions that address pressing global challenges, such as pollution and resource wastage. Furthermore, students are encouraged to document their learning journey in a portfolio that reflects their experiences and insights into the role of AI in society.

Chapter Content
- Image Classifier: Recognize happy and sad faces.
Detailed Explanation
This idea centers on creating an AI model that can differentiate between two types of images: happy faces and sad faces. To build this classifier, students would gather a dataset containing various images of faces expressing happiness and sadness. Using a machine learning tool, they would train the model to learn features associated with each emotion. Once trained, the AI can then analyze new images and predict whether they represent a happy or sad face based on what it learned.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this AI model as a friend who is really good at reading emotions on people's faces. Just like how this friend would remember happy smiles and frowns to understand feelings better, the AI learns from images to make these distinctions.
Sound Classifier

Chapter Content
- Sound Classifier: Differentiate claps, whistles, and snaps.
Detailed Explanation
This idea involves building an AI model that can identify and categorize different sounds, such as claps, whistles, and snaps. Students will gather audio samples of each sound and use a machine learning tool to train the model. During training, the model learns unique features of each sound type, enabling it to recognize the sound when it is played again. After training, the model can be tested with new sounds to see if it can correctly classify them.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine teaching a young child to recognize different sounds like a clap, whistle, and snap. Every time you make a sound, you'd emphasize its uniqueness until the child can identify each one independently. The AI model works similarly by learning from audio examples.
Text Classifier

Chapter Content
- Text Classifier: Identify positive or negative feedback.
Detailed Explanation
In this idea, students create an AI model that can read and classify text feedback as either positive or negative. To accomplish this, they would collect a variety of text examples with feedback that is clearly labeled. The model is trained by analyzing language patterns and keywords typically associated with positive or negative sentiments. After creating the model, students can input new, unlabeled feedback to see whether the AI accurately identifies its sentiment.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this AI as someone who organizes reviews for a restaurant. Just like how the restaurant owner would want to know if customers are happy or upset to improve service, the AI sorts the feedback to help understand public opinion.
