AI Block Coding with Raise Playground
Using the block-based Raise Playground platform, students explore how AI and machine learning actually work under the hood. Training and testing their own models hands-on, without needing heavy math or programming syntax.
What you'll learn
- What machine learning is and how models "learn" from data
- Building and training simple classifiers using blocks
- Testing models and understanding accuracy and error
- Recognizing bias and limitations in AI systems
- Hands-on projects with image, text, and sound classifiers
- Responsible and ethical use of AI
- Connecting these concepts to real-world AI tools students already use
Who this course is for
A great fit for curious students who want to understand what's really happening behind AI tools, not just use them. No programming background is required, though prior experience with block-based coding (like Scratch) is helpful. This course pairs well as a stepping stone toward our AI Enablement and Vibecoding course.
