Build a Useful AI Tool
Career Spotlight: Smart Systems Developer
Smart systems developers build tools that use sensors and AI to track actions, respond to movement, and give feedback.
Today’s Mission
Build an AI tool that recognizes movement and does something useful.
Success Today
By the end of class, your team should be able to:
- train a movement model
- make the micro:bit respond
- improve your tool through testing
Today’s Flow
- Launch
- Train your model
- Test and improve
- Quick share
- Career video
- Clean up
Main Challenge
Create a Movement-Based AI Tool
Your tool might:
- count reps
- track an action
- switch between movements
- give feedback with icons, numbers, or sounds
Steps
- Open your AI project.
- Train one or more movements.
- Test your model.
- Program the micro:bit to react.
- Try your tool.
- Improve it.
Level Up
If your tool works, try:
- two different movements
- a goal tracker
- a better display
- clearer feedback for the user
If You Get Stuck
Check:
- Did you train enough samples?
- Are your movements different enough?
- Does your code match your model?
- What happened when you tested?
Quick Share
Be ready to share:
- what your tool does
- one thing you improved
- one real-world use for a system like this
Sentence Starters
- Our tool can…
- One thing we improved was…
- This could be useful because…
