Machine Learning for Kids Worksheet
AI tip (Show, label, learn): Machine learning learns patterns from many labelled examples — a label is the right answer tag on each example. Good for training: many varied examples, correct labels, every type the model will meet, and separate new data for testing. Bad for training: very few examples, wrong or random labels, only one kind of example, blurry examples, testing on the training data.
