Day of AI

 

On Monday the 16th of May all the Year 5 & 6 students participated in the Day of AI as the National Science Week theme is Innovation: Powering Future Industries. The theme incorporates the advancement in technology in all industries, especially using artificial intelligence (AI). The students learned all about artificial intelligence through participating in a range of hands-on activities such as: using Google Quick Draw to learn about how AI uses datasets to make predictions of what you are drawing; using the Teachable Machines website to make their own AI that recognises if you are doing rock, paper, or scissors; learning about how deepfakes are made; and developing their own AI solution to improve the school community. Overall, the day was a fantastic opportunity for students to learn about science and technology.
