In the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI), learning by doing is key. This chapter focuses on applying the knowledge gained in the previous lessons to real-world projects. These activities are designed to encourage creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving using AI concepts and tools. Students will also explore how AI can be used to solve problems aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Detailed Explanation
This introduction emphasizes the importance of hands-on learning in AI. It encourages students to apply the theoretical knowledge they have learned in previous lessons to practical projects. The goal is to foster critical skills such as creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Additionally, students will understand the connection between AI and global issues, specifically how it can be leveraged to address Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Examples & Analogies
Think of this like cooking: you can read all about recipes and techniques, but the real learning comes when you actually cook the dishes yourself. In this chapter, students will get their 'hands dirty' with AI projects that relate to real-life challenges, just like experimenting in the kitchen helps you become a better chef.

Students will build a basic AI model using user-friendly tools. This project helps students understand the training and testing process, concept of datasets, and how machines learn patterns.
Detailed Explanation
The first project aims to teach students how to create a simple AI model utilizing accessible tools. By engaging in this project, students will learn about key concepts, such as how AI is trained (the process of teaching a model using data), how to test and evaluate the model's performance, and the importance of datasets (collections of data used for training AI). Essentially, students will get a foundational understanding of the mechanisms behind AI learning.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine teaching your pet a new trick. You show it how to perform the trick repeatedly (training), watch how well it does it (testing), and adjust your teaching methods based on how well it learns. Creating an AI model is similar, where you're guiding the AI to understand and recognize patterns from provided information.
