    1 - Understanding AI

    Do you know what AI is? AI stands for 'Artificial Intelligence' which is a type of technology that is designed to think like humans. It can learn, solve problems, understand language, and even see! Isn't that cool?


    2 - Finding AI in Your Daily Life

    Can you think of any places where you might have seen or used AI in your daily life? Maybe when you talk to Siri or Alexa? Or when Netflix recommends a movie or show you might like? Those are all examples of AI!




    3 - Playing an AI Guessing Game

    In this step, you'll play a fun guessing game that will help you understand how AI works. Here's how to play:

    1. Find a partner. This could be a friend, a family member, or even your teacher.
    2. Ask your partner to think of an animal but not to tell you what it is.
    3. Now, you will ask your partner yes or no questions about the animal they're thinking of. For example, you could ask 'Does it have fur?' or 'Can it fly?'
    4. Based on your partner's answers, try to guess the animal. Remember, you can only ask yes or no questions.
    5. Keep asking questions until you guess the animal correctly. This could take many questions, so don't give up!

    This game is similar to how AI works. AI uses data (like the answers to your questions) to make educated guesses and learn from the information it's given. Have fun playing!


    4 - Reflecting on the Game

    After you've finished the game, try to think about how you used the answers you got to guess the animal. This thinking process is similar to how AI uses information or data to make decisions. The more data it has, the better its decisions can be.
