`Machine learning is all around us. We all use machine learning systems every day – such as spam filters, recommendation engines, language translation services, chatbots and digital assistants, search engines, and fraud detection systems. It will soon be normal for machine learning systems to drive our cars, and help doctors to diagnose and treat our illnesses. It’s important that kids are aware of how our world works. The best way to understand the capabilities and implications is to be able to build with this technology for themselves.`
– Dale Lane, IBM
When kids make something, they get excited! Our syllabus is divided into projects; each eventually becomes a product kids can share with family and friends. Why project-based learning? Because as students focus on creating a game they can show to their friends, they’re learning other skills necessary for other STEM classes. That’s why most of our class time is dedicated to projects rather than lessons.
Machine Learning using Scratch When curiosity strikes and you want to amp up your skill-set, you learn Machine Learning from scratch using SCRATCH. The best way to learn about new and trending technology? Test it for yourself by creating your own projects using it! More theory and less practical work makes learning dull, but not in this course! Here you will be building your own Machine Learning projects which will give you a better understanding of how the real world works.
Introduction to Python Python’s easy-to-read syntax makes it a great programming language to start coding for middle school students. Plus, it’s one of the mot popular languages for developers. Students practice coding fundamentals through Python that they’ll use as they learn basics of the Artificial Intelligence.

Advanced Python for Machine Learning Python’s easy-to-read syntax makes it a great programming language to start coding for middle school students. Plus, it’s one of the mot popular languages for developers. Students practice more advanced coding through Python that they’ll use as they learn basics of the data science.
Machine Learning with TensorFlow Machine Learning with TensorFlow course is a program that teaches the Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence tools that can be used for building “smart“ machines. Students learn how to use TensorFlow by completing various projects. This is a great program for students, that already have good Python Programming knowledge.
Advanced Machine Learning Students of this course will develop new advanced skills, as well as learn how large companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook leverage AI and Machine Learning. Covering hot topics like facial recognition and NLP (Natural Language Processing), this course will equip young learners with key Machine Learning knowledge and skills upon completion.
Mass Science Fair Club A science fair is a place for students to present their science projects to professional scientists and to the community. Its main purpose is to get you excited about science by doing it rather than simply learning about it. A scientist first asks a question about some aspect of the world and then tries to find its answer. At the science fair, each student presents a project, both visually and orally, with the question and answer displayed in an interesting way. Students should be able to explain their projects and answer questions. The science fair will also include a science activity expo, where students will have an opportunity to see and interact with cool technologies, devices, and scientists.
