Hour of AI: Machine Learning: What is a Blorg?
45min
Students will be able to explain how AI can learn information by being trained to identify an alien.
Lesson Preparation
* _This is the Hour of AI version of the lesson. For the original version, see the lesson with the same title (without “Hour of AI”)._
* It is recommended that you present the interactive activity for the whole class to complete together. During the activity, there are pauses for class discussion. Click the continue button to move on when the class has finished their discussion.
* Print one handout for each student to complete to create their own alien species. Students will need coloring materials and scissors for this activity.
* Share the CodeHS Mascot AI Model link with students so they can complete the activity individually.
