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.
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.
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.

This section outlines the systematic steps for creating an AI model. First, students need to select the type of data they want to work with—be it images, text, or sounds. Next, they should gather sample data that represents different categories or classes relevant to their project. Afterward, using the chosen tool, they will train the model by feeding it this data, followed by testing its performance and making necessary refinements. Finally, students will present their findings and insights, providing a chance to reflect on their learning journey.
Imagine you're a detective solving a mystery. First, you need to gather evidence (choose the type of data), then classify it (collect sample data), figure out how it all connects (train the model), see if your theory holds up (test and refine), and finally, present your solution to others (share your learning).
