Posters: Creating and teaching games in Python to teach Artificial Intelligence concepts

Presented by:


Description

I am a High School Freshman who has a passion for coding and robotics. For the past 3 years, I have taken Artificial Intelligence classes as a student. AI is a buzz word - It is an exciting yet daunting subject. My instructor made these classes fun and less daunting by using real world examples and games. I got so inspired, I started understanding and writing neural networks in Python in no time. Now, I am trying to create the same experience for my students.

I am a volunteer teacher and I teach AI concepts to students in 6th - 12th grade. When I create a course, I think of how to include AI concepts in games. I write games utilizing libraries like turtle and pygame. I consult with my instructor and they help review my courses.

In this poster I would like to:

  • Simplify what AI means to the broader audiences by giving examples from the real world
  • Give the audiences a sneak peak at my curriculum
  • Share some resources that I have created
  • Share my teaching experiences
  • Provide tips to engage students

Here are some examples of my curriculum:
