Engaging in AI through project work (Jun 2021)
Join Jackie Child and Martin Richards as Jackie shares her insights into implementing AI projects with her classes of students. Jackie will share projects given to her year 3 class as well as an example with her Yr 8 class. We'll talk through the project work and explain the stages her students went through in their learning. Jackie will also share her learning journey with regards to discovering more about the facinating world of Artificial Intelligence. Finally we will bring it all together and show how AI can be used as a context for learning demonstrating the curriculum links.
