Artificial Intelligence For Kids

Morrisville, NC 12/18/2020 

We’re in the midst of a significant transformation in the industry. This transition is so compelling that it is being called Industry 4.0 to represent the fourth revolution in the way we produce products. Today, the fourth industrial revolution is taking computers and automation and enhancing them with smart and autonomous systems fueled by data and machine learning to ultimately make decisions without human involvement.

Various emerging technologies are the pillars for Industry 4.0 like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things, Big Data and Cyber Security… to name just a few. And Industry 4.0 is converging the digital, physical and biological worlds.

STEM For Kids, founded and based in North Carolina, has been at the forefront of bringing cutting-edge innovative STEM to children since 2011. Your children have already been exploring some of Industry 4.0 technical pillars through STEM for Kids programs. We are now pleased to announce the newest addition to our industry-leading curriculum portfolio… Artificial Intelligence (AI) for kids.

In a world where technology has taken over several tasks, students discover how to be the one who trains and programs those machines. They learn early on that AI is about teaching a computer to be able to perform tasks that normally a human would do.

Through a series of activities and projects, students are trained on machine learning which is a specific type of AI that recognizes patterns in data and makes predictions based on those patterns. Children will design games and animations and code their own virtual machines to learn various tasks.

Activities include Make Me Happy! with supervised learning for machines, Shoot the Bug Game with decision tree model, Chameleon with image classification, School Journey with predictive model, and many more.

Programs in Artificial Intelligence are being offered as instructor-led online classes now and will be available for in-person learning as state / local conditions allow.

Convenient online programs during after school time and on Saturdays are starting in January. Parents can register their children here. Schools and organizations can request virtual learning or in-person classes for their groups at stemforkids.net/inschools.

STEM Birthday parties

A recipient of the “Most Energetic STEMstar” award is a role model in the following ways: Excited to learn about STEM, Thinks outside of the box, Proactively offers help to others, Searches for the answers, and Follows the Engineering Design Process.
“Zach is always willing to help out his fellow classmates, more recently he helped out a kindergartner in our Minecraft after school in learning how to mod without me asking him to! He takes the challenge head-on and wants to do programming for all projects even if I don’t necessarily ask them to (he’ll ask if he can because he wants the challenge!).” said STEM coach.
Zach may get frustrated, but he’ll always ask questions and seek answers and understands that failure does not mean the end. Keep up the great work Zach!
