Inside the pack

Five sessions, three ideas

1

The Robot Shop

Whether a job should go to a machine at all, and what a machine costs beyond the coins you pay it.

2

The Safari

Where a guessing machine is already at work in the class's own day, kept up as a habit for the rest of the term.

3

The Robot Who Learned Wrong

A machine knows only what its examples taught it, and a class that has watched one learn the wrong thing remembers it.

4

The Impossible Question

The questions a machine cannot answer, and why a person is still the one who has to.

5

The Rules of This Room

The class writes and signs its own agreement for working with machines.

What a child takes away

Engage with AI 1
Recognising where AI already is, in the ordinary things a class does every day.
Engage with AI 2
A machine learns from its examples and nothing else — carried in one portable question: “what were its examples?”
Manage AI 1
Deciding whether a job should go to a machine, and being able to say why.

Two ways to open it

Your access link opens the pack online and as a printable PDF, with each session's printables at the end of that session.
