Final project: an AI for your community
Bring everything together: design, plan, prototype and present an AI that helps your community, then take the course challenge for your certificate.
This is it, your final project. Let's bring everything you've learned together. Congratulations on reaching the final lesson of A I for Beginners! For your final project, you'll design an A I that helps your community, using everything you've learned.
Your journey
Look how far you've come. In units one and two, you learned what A I is, and how it learns from data. In units three and four, you learned to talk to chatbots, and to use A I to learn. In units five and six, you created with A I, and learned to stay safe and fair. And in units seven and eight, you used A I for work and life, and learned to build with it.
Your final project
Here are your project steps. First, choose a problem in your community, and talk to two or three people who have it. Second, write your problem statement. Who, what, and why. Third, fill in your A I plan. Users, data, output, risks, and the people who check it. Fourth, build a simple prototype. And fifth, make a five slide pitch, and present it to your family, class or friends.
Prototype ideas
Your prototype could be a Scratch project with a trained model, like in lesson 8.2, an image or sound model in Teachable Machine, a mock-up of your app's screens, made in slides, or simply hand-drawn screens on paper. A good idea matters more than fancy tools. When you're ready, take the course challenge. It has questions from every unit. Pass it, and you'll earn your A I for Beginners certificate, with your name on it.
Keep learning
And keep learning. Elements of A I is a free online course for beginners. Machine Learning for Kids and Teachable Machine let you keep building models. And joining a coding club or tech community is a great way to learn with others.
Quick check
Quick check. What should come first in your final project? A real problem, and talking to the people who have it. Options: A real problem, and talking to people who have it; The app's name and logo; The fanciest AI tool; The final slide.
Recap
Your final project is problem, plan, prototype, and pitch. Simple prototypes are fine. Take the course challenge, to earn your certificate. And keep learning, and build something good for your community. Well done!
