Adding Machine Learning Blocks to Snap!

The year 2017 saw a sudden emergence of interest and support for Artificial Intelligence (AI) programming by children. Stephen Wolfram wrote a chapter in his An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language textbook about machine learning. He wrote a blog post Machine Learning for Middle Schoolers, where he describes the rationale behind the different examples and exercises. Dale Lane launched Machine Learning for Kids, which he recently described in his excellent article in Hello World 4. Google launched the first of two AIY projects for voice and vision kits for Raspberry Pi projects. Google also launched the Teachable Machine and a collection of browser-based machine learning experiments.
