This page is structured as follows:

The first slideshow is the slide deck teaching the important concepts for this entire topic.
The follow activities are supplementary activities that kids should complete to reinforce these important concepts.

These activities are listed in the order we suggest you follow.

1. Main Script and Slides

Links: Script & Slides
Suggested Length: 1 hour
Description: We look at examples of GANs and identify what went into creating them.

2. GAN Game

Link: GAN Game
Pre-Reqs: “Algorithms as Opinions” Main Slides
Suggested Length: 30 min
Tech Dependencies: Google Chrome
Key Concepts: Algorithms
Group Reqs: None
Description: Students learn that algorithms, like recipes, are a set of instructions that modify an input to produce an output. Students are then asked to write an algorithm to make the “best” peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Students then explore what it means to be “best” and see how their opinions are reflected in their algorithms.
