Artificial intelligence curriculum for primary and secondary schools
AI in Informatics at Level 2
William & Meriwether
An interactive story to understand the basics of machine learning
Interactive story William & Meriwether
William & Meriwether is an interactive story for understanding the basics of artificial intelligence and machine learning. We recommend using it as an introduction to AI in the classroom. The story has been tested with 650 children in grades 4-9, however, we recommend educators to implement it with older children - starting in grade 6 in elementary school (there is not as much difference in skills between children).

Bloom's taxonomy
Understanding: students explain the concepts of data, dataset, bias, Lidar and GPS.
Applications Train a second machine learning model in the Teachable Machine application.
Analysis: Analyze the data in the context of bias.
They identify specific examples of real-world applications of machine learning.
Assessment: assess the ethical aspects of bias. They compare different approaches to encoding data for optimal storage and transmission.
