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

2. Neural Network Game

  • Link: Neural Network Game Template
  • Pre-Reqs: “Neural Networks” Main Slides
  • Suggested Length: 60 min
  • Tech Dependencies: Google Chrome
  • Key Concepts: Neural Networks
  • Group Reqs: Students will need to be organized into groups of 8-10, with at least one instructor.
  • Description: Students learn about a type of algorithm called a neural network by playing the role of nodes training a network. Students caption a mystery image by passing on information through different “layers” of the class.
