St. Joseph Library: Hour of AI

After over a decade of success with Hour of Code, CS for All is launching Hour of AI to engage students in hands-on learning experiences, changing them from passive consumers of AI to confident creators.

Students classify objects as either "fish" or "not fish" to attempt to remove trash from the ocean. Then, students will need to expand their training data set to include other sea creatures that belong in the water. In the second part of the activity, students will choose their own labels to apply to images of randomly generated fish. This training data is used for a machine learning model that should then be able to label new images on its own.

Join a monkey on a mission to collect bananas and unlock treasure chests.

Use Microsoft MakeCode Arcade to code and train your own super-smart bug using AI algorithms and challenge other AI bugs in an epic Tower battle for ultimate Bug Arena glory!

Code a multiplayer snack chase game with characters from Lyla in the Loop on PBS KIDS.

By creating their own songs using coding concepts like sequencing and decomposition, and configuring an AI Beat Block, students will learn foundational computer science concepts. They will also be introduced to careers that intersect with tech and music through inspiring career spotlights from professionals in the industry, including at Amazon Music.

Train an AI to recognize your poses! In this block-based coding activity, students use Teachable Machine, incorporated directly into the course, then program an owl to respond by jumping, shrinking, and more based on real-time movements.

Bring dance, music, and coding together with Code.org's Mix & Move with AI activity! Design your own dancer, mix music from artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Benson Boone, and Shakira, and code your own dance performance, all in one experience.

Two Truths & AI is an interactive digital literacy game for grades K–12 that teaches students to identify AI-generated content and develop critical media literacy skills. Through an engaging, 60-second challenge, students try to distinguish between real and AI-generated movie posters. It's a fun way for students to test their AI detective skills, while also building their critical thinking muscles.

Learn about artificial intelligence (AI) concepts to create your own virtual dance party showcasing today's top artists. With dozens of songs to choose from, reach every student no matter their music taste. It's time to strut your stuff!
