Combatting fatphobia and racism to reclaim a space of belonging at the intersection of fat, Black, and female.
A hands-on, child-friendly, application-based introduction to machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) using the Scratch programming language.Machine Learning for Kids introduces young readers to the concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the related applications of Machine Learning. Readers learn how to create intelligent games like a rock-paper-scissors game that can learn hand motions and use them to compete against another player; a post sorting game that will recognise the postal code on an envelope and use it to send a letter to the right place. Each project demonstrates a different way that AI is used in the real-world, and readers will be introduced to the biggest issues and challenges that the adoption of AI brings to society.
