Activity Overview

In this activity, students play a game to simulate the adversarial components of a GANs. One team plays the role of a generator. Another team plays the role of a discriminator.

Total Activity Time: 25 minutes

Materials:

  • Generator vs Discriminator Slide Deck
  • Generator vs Discriminator - printable board game
  • Answer Key for Discriminators - do not show to Generators
  • 2nd Answer Key for Discriminators - for a 2nd game

Prep:

  • If playing offline, print enough board games 2 player games.
  • If playing offline, print the answer key.
  • If playing the game online, prepare to share y.
  • In either case, one team needs the Discriminator Input Dataset (either shared through a private link or printed).

Options for Differentiation

  • Split class into two knowledge heterogeneous groups for the Generator vs. Discriminator activity, such that high- and low-academically achieving students are distributed.
  • Give clear directions - Walk through the game directions step-by-step with modeling. Then, provide these written directions to each group for impromptu reference as needed.
  • Give multiple examples - Make sure there is a teacher in each group who is prepared to model out to be a discriminator / generator by thinking aloud.
  • If a student needs more time, convert the game board into a smaller grid, e.g., 5 x 5, and make-up a new pattern across 4-6 similarly shaped grids for the discriminator to use as an input dataset (e.g., 4-6 slightly different plus ( + ) signs, or 4-6 slightly different squares)
