About The Course

This Artificial Intelligence course will enable students build their own AI programs, using Scratch with AI Extension, a visual programming tool where students create programs by joining colour-coded blocks together in a proper sequence.Students can utilize specialized blocks that incorporate AI functionalities, such as speech input and output, speech synthesis and recognition, image recognition, machine learning and so much more, into their programs. Access to Scratch-for-AI (S4AIWS extensions) is created by the AI World School (AIWS) development team and follows a Project-Based Learning plus hands-on programming approach. This course complements the CBSE and Atal Tinkering Laboratories (ATL) curricula and comprises interactive videos that enable greater memory retention of AI concepts.Some real-world AI applications covered in this course include:
  • Building a game mimicking the ‘Stroop Effect’
  • Creating a conversation agent using speech recognition and generation to converse with users
  • Designing a program to detect traffic signals
  • Building a language translator program to understand how natural interactions between intelligent machines and humans occur in real-world applications as well as its societal impact

Who Is This Course For?

This course is specifically designed with guidance from leading global experts in education, robotics and computer science for students aged 14–18 who have a passion for AI and coding.

Course Objectives

The AI for the Real World course will help you:
  • Develop an AI program to play the ‘Stroop Effect’ game and demonstrate how the human brain processes words, colours, patterns and so on
  • Create an AI program that utilizes ‘Sense Perception’ to recognize real-time scenarios, such as responding to traffic violations
  • Build a language translator program to understand how natural interactions between intelligent machines and humans occur 
  • Build an interactive voice-based ‘Conversational Agent’ program that can be trained to respond to the input provided by the user
