Introducing pupils to the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically to Machine and Deep Learning. Pupils learn terminology around Artificial Intelligence and re-enforce computational thinking concepts. Additionally, they learn how AI is used in specific areas and how to design, test and evaluate their own AI system based on Neural Network principles and also consider the future of AI. Unplugged activities support the Scheme of Work and there is a plugged activity when creating their own AI. Pupils link to a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) through a cloud services platform and gain an understanding of the computational power needed for neural networks. An assessment is provided at the end for summative assessment. Formative assessment is used throughout. Teacher powerpoints and worksheets are provided at http://aiinschools.com/
