Computer Science & AI
Niveaux scolaires: Grade 2
Système éducatif: STEM
Welcome to "AI Explorers" – a beginner-friendly, exciting journey into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) designed especially for curious young minds in Grade 2! In this course, students will dive into the amazing world of AI using PictoBlox, a child-friendly, block-based programming platform. Through colorful blocks and interactive projects, kids will explore key AI concepts like image recognition, voice interaction, and smart decision-making — all in a playful, visual, and hands-on way. They’ll learn how computers can see, hear, and even think, just like humans. From training a computer to recognize different emotions to building their own smart assistant, students will develop logical thinking, creativity, and 21st-century tech skills while having tons of fun! No previous experience with programming or AI is required — just imagination and a willingness to explore! What Kids Will Learn: What is AI and how it works (in simple language) Introduction to Machine Learning Using PictoBlox to build AI projects Train computers to recognize faces, objects, and sounds Create smart, interactive games and stories Develop logical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity Tools Used: PictoBlox (block-based coding interface) Laptop/Tablet with internet connection Webcam and microphone (for AI features like image and voice detection)
