Course highlights
Artificial Intelligence in the world today
Learn how AI is being used in the world right now, from autonomous cars to applications in medicine. We'll explore how these work, as well as the positives and negatives we need to be aware of.
Learn about Machine Learning
You'll get to build a game using MIT's Scratch software and then teach a computer to play it. We'll discover what it takes to build a machine that can learn.
Think about the Machines of the Future
We'll look at the Machines of the Future such as robots, humanoid androids, nanobots and robot swarms. What are the best ways to use AI and Machine Learning in these, without adding built-in bias?
Course Overview
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the hottest topic in tech right now and is already having a significant impact on our lives. Want to know how a computer named ‘Deep Blue’ beat a chess grandmaster over twenty years ago? Or how the AI behind AlphaGo beat the best human ‘GO’ player in the world?
Learn how to create complex AI models. Create a celebrity response bot, make and then train a video game to play itself, and even create a friendly alien detector all on this new course!
This is an excellent choice for children interested in technology, coding and AI. Absolutely no previous programming knowledge is required. It is perfect for beginners who are curious to learn more about one of the hottest and dynamic tech topics around!
Students looking for a broader introduction to computer science fundamentals should check out our Junior Coder course while those interested in gaming might also be interested in our Video Game Design course.
