Tynker's New AI/ML Course! Now Available

In this patient, step-by-step course, kids will explore the big ideas behind AI, and explore how they can use AI in live video projects for amazing, dynamic effects. They’ll even explore advanced ideas like computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP).

You’ll find 10 spectacular projects you can complete in an afternoon or less, as well as introductions to key AI concepts.

Face - Learn about artificial intelligence. Make a costume that follows your movement by harnessing the Face Tracking code blocks. Then make other fun applied projects, like virtual fire-breathing and a talking potato head.

Hand - The hand-tracking blocks allow for some unique gameplay. Learn how the hand landmark system works, then apply it to simple games, like Splatter Paint.

Pose Tracking— The Pose Tracking AI blocks can detect body positions and movements. Make a photo booth and a dancing character on-screen who follows your every move!

Object Detection AIs can do a lot more than just recognize humans. Program apps that can count objects or respond when an object appears. This AI can classify objects with both live-video and static images.

Natural Language Processing Will computers ever really understand us when we write and speak in plain English? Explore some applications of natural language processing (NLP) in this final lesson of the course. Write a chatbot, create an interactive mystery story, and much more.
