Genius Hour: Gestures to Genius – Teachable Machines and Scratch

In-class Learning
Deadline: October 29, 2026

What if your students could teach a computer to recognize their own actions (no keyboard required) – all in under an hour? In this live, interactive MindFuel Genius Hour, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) through hands-on activities that make complex concepts approachable and fun.

Middle and high-school students will:
-Train their own AI models using Google Teachable Machine
-Explore how machines “learn” patterns from images, sounds, and poses
-Connect AI concepts to real-world applications—from gaming to robotics
-Spark curiosity about ethics, creativity, and the future of technology

This isn’t just theory – it’s AI in action, right from your classroom! Perfect for Grades 7–9, this session blends science, technology, and critical thinking to inspire the next generation of innovators.
