Course Description
In this extension of our Logic with Scratch course, students will apply Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to improve a Scratch project from their previous course, Logic with Scratch. Using Google’s Teachable Machine, they’ll build AI models that detect hand gestures to control a car’s movement in their Road Rash project. They’ll then integrate the AI model into the project using the RAISE AI Playground, allowing users to move the car up or down with their gestures. This course is perfect for kids eager to enhance their coding skills and explore the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence!
Learning Objectives
When students complete Road Rash with AI Gesture Detection, they will be able to:
- Use Google’s Teachable Machine to create interactive AI models with multiple classifications.
- Import their AI models into the RAISE AI Playground, an enhanced version of Scratch that enables AI integration in projects.
- Apply logic to their games in RAISE AI, leveraging the AI models they’ve developed.
Prerequisites
These courses must be completed before Road Rash with AI Gesture Detection:
- Wizard Level 1, Course 1 : Animation and Games with Scratch
- Wizard Level 1, Course 2 : Logic with Scratch
-
1. Creating an AI ModelIn this lesson, students will use Google’s Teachable Machine to create an AI model, which will be integrated into their Road Rash project from our Logic with Scratch class. They will build classes and train the model to recognize hand gestures for player movement. Using the RAISE AI Playground, a Scratch platform from MIT, they will incorporate AI blocks to load their model into the project. By the end of this class, students will have a foundational understanding of AI models and training data.

2. Implementing an AI Model
In this lesson, students will use the RAISE AI Playground to integrate the AI model they built in the previous class. They will explore detecting model classes, testing for errors, and adjusting video settings. As a result, they will add hand gesture controls to move the car up and down in their Road Rash game and ensure it functions correctly. By the end of this class, students will understand how to apply their AI model’s classes to improve their games.
Class Schedule
All students start in Animation and Gaming in Scratch at Wizard Level I. If you have previous coding experience, take the Placement test to skip ahead. Returning students can continue with the class where they left off.
