Activity Overview
This activity introduces Teachable Machines and has students follow the Teachable Machines Tutorial to create training data sets and test the algorithm using the camera on the computer.
Total Activity Time: 15 minutes
Materials:
In person:
- Teachable Machine Activity Worksheet #1
Prep for in-person:
- Print the worksheet and exit ticket
Options for Differentiation
- Assign partners or small heterogeneous ability groups of 3-4 for all “Teachable Machine” activities. Design groups so they can stay the same throughout all three lessons.
- Form a small pull-out group to work closely with a teacher as they complete the activity together. This teacher can plan on reading all directions and walking the students each step of all activities (Make sure this teacher is available for all three lessons).
- Students with special needs for more content or more time can both benefit from taking extra time to explore each activity. For students who move through content quickly, give them a mini-project of creating an entirely new dataset to make a new classifier. For students who need more time, replace Activity 2 with a mini-project that repeats Activity 1 so they can explore other ways images they create might introduce algorithmic bias (without struggling with uploading image files to the website, which can be an unnecessary barrier).
- Remind students that, if they finish early, they can continue to work on their “Explore AI Journal”, which students can work on as an ongoing project.
