Teaching and Learning About AI with the Micro:bit

Tuesday June 10, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am CDT

Glass Oaks

Join me to add AI to a micro:bit learning experience. We will use micro:bit Create AI to train a Machine Learning (ML) model and the run it on a miccro:bit V2. You will collect movement data from the micro:bit accelerometer, then train a ML model to recognise patterns in the data, and then code the micro:bit to run the ML model so your creation can be taken anywhere. Micro:bit CreateAI allows you to explore the vital role data plays in AI systems, and develop AI literacy. It also helps to consolidate computer science learning and skills of data literacy used in mathematics and science.

You will need a computer (laptop or Chromebook) with Chrome or Edge browser that has a regular USB port (not type C--if you have type C, bring an adaptor to connect to regular USB cable ).
