Train Your First AI System
Career Spotlight: AI and Robotics Technician
AI and robotics technicians help test smart systems that respond to data, movement, and human actions.
Today’s Mission
Use a micro:bit to explore coding basics and train your first AI motion model.
Success Today
By the end of class, your team should be able to:
- code a simple micro:bit reaction
- train an AI model with movement
- test how well your model works
Main Challenge
Make the micro:bit react, then train it to recognize motion
Steps
- Connect your micro:bit.
- Open MakeCode.
- Make a simple button or motion program.
- Test it on your micro:bit.
- Go to CreateAI.
- Train two motions, like wave and clap.
- Test your model.
- Improve it if needed.
Level Up
If your model works, try:
- adding a new motion
- improving accuracy
- changing what the micro:bit does when it detects a motion
Quick Share
Be ready to share:
- one motion your model learned
- one thing that made your model work better
Clean Up
- save your work
- unplug your micro:bit
- return materials neatly
Wrap Up
Today you trained a smart system to recognize movement.
