Teach Machine Learning
Software developer Dale Lane has created Machine Learning for Kids - https://machinelearningforkids.co.uk/#!/worksheets - a collection of free projects that teach learners how to build with this technology.
Each project is done in Scratch - https://scratch.mit.edu/ - a widely used educational coding platform, and includes a downloadable, step-by-step guide.


Educators, parents and/or learners can choose from...


  • easier projects such as Make Me Happy (create a character that smiles if you say nice things to it and cries if you insult it) or
  • more advanced ones like Headlines (train a computer to recognize headlines from national newspapers).
Throughout the lessons available, there are explanations for what just happened in each step, and what comes next.

The process is accessible and intuitive, and educators or parents who try it out will no doubt learn something, too.

If you give Machine Learning for Kids and Scratch a try or have already used Machine Learning for Kids and Scratch, do share your feedback, positive and/or negative, in the comments.
Thank you.
