Teaching AI to All Students
In the past two years, the amount of artificial intelligence being used in our everyday lives has increased significantly. As a result, there is a greater demand for people who have the skills to work in this field, and it will continue to lead to the creation of many more jobs according to the Jobs of Tomorrow report. Areas such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, cloud computing, and cybersecurity are some of those mentioned in the report as likely to see an increase in demand for skilled workers which means that we need to do more to prepare our students for these careers and others that will evolve over time. There are big trends for this year about how AI will impact the world of work and the skills needed. It has been predicted that artificial intelligence will automate the production of 30% of all the content available on the Internet this year.
Getting started with learning about Artificial Intelligence - NEO BLOG
Summer is always a good opportunity to explore new ideas, particularly ideas for boosting student engagement or perhaps taking some risks with trying something a bit different in our classrooms. The 2020-2021 school year has definitely been one full of changes and a time when we've had to become more flexible in our instruction to adapt to changing learning environments and conditions. Although it has been challenging, it has also provided a good opportunity for educators to embrace and create new learning experiences and design collaborative learning environments for students. It may have been a year with more technology used than in the past few years for some educators. As a Spanish and STEAM educator, I always look for innovative ideas or ways to bring emerging technologies into my classes.

This virtual robotics camp is launching just in time for summer
Summer camp plans not coming together as you envisioned? I have no idea what camp will look like for my 8- and 6-year old, and am leery of more Zoom time. I found an interesting possibility though, at least for my 8-year old: virtual robotics camp. UBTECH Education, a division of UBTECH, the robotics company famous for its Walker robot and kids' robot kits, teamed up with the STEM Learning Ecosystems Community of Practice to create Camp:ASPIRE for students ages 8 through 16. When campers sign up for a week, they get a UKIT robotics building kit to keep that includes servos, connectors, a main control box, and 300-500 pieces.
Watch Karen Hao's Session from MAICON: What Is AI? (Video)
Thank you so much for joining me so early today. I am very excited to be here. And thank you to the organizers at my con and especially Paul for having me. We are not easing into this morning, we are crashing straight in to a 30 minute crash course on what is the state of the current field of artificial intelligence. So thank you for being on this journey with me.
The Global Search for Education: How Building Robots Builds Confidence in Girls
Posted By C. M. Rubin on Oct 9, 2019 "We added "Artificial Intelligence" to "Robotics & STEM" this year because it is an important and timely topic for young people to learn about." Prior to joining the Girls of Steel Robotics Program at Carnegie Mellon University's (CMU) Field Robotics Center, Theresa Richards was a science teacher in Pittsburgh where she created an award-winning lesson integrating robotics into a Human Anatomy and Physiology course. The problem her organization is trying to solve is the demand for more people in STEM, and in particular, women. A December 2018 report in Pittsburgh shows there are 80,000 STEM jobs currently available. "We believe that building robots builds confidence in STEM," says Richards.
A Summer Camp With a Long Plan: Keeping Bias Out of Artificial Intelligence
Anaya Bussey didn't know much about "artificial intelligence" when she arrived at a camp at Princeton University earlier this summer other than that "it was definitely blowing up." But after just three weeks here she and other students--all incoming high school juniors--teamed up to use the technology to help diagnose melanoma by looking at skin lesions. Bussey, 15, who is from the Bronx borough in New York City, has been interested in computer science since she was in elementary school. But there have been times when she's been one of only a handful of girls--or black students--in a computer class or program. That wasn't the case at the Princeton summer camp, run by AI4ALL, a two-year-old nonprofit that seeks to increase diversity and inclusion in AI education, research, and policy.

Artificial intelligence has a racial bias problem. Google is funding summer camps to try to change that
The late astrophysicist Stephen Hawking and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have warned that human civilization is at risk from the unfettered development of AI, which could lead to autonomous weapons of terror. Such fears led staff at Google earlier this year to press the company to halt a drone contract with the Pentagon. The technology, still in its early stages, has also been decried for built-in racial bias that can amplify existing stereotypes. That's particularly worrisome as more companies use it for decisions such as hiring, and police leverage AI-powered software to identify suspects. MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini, who is Black, found facial recognition software could more easily identify her face when she wore a white mask, a result of algorithms that relied on data sets of mostly white faces.
Artificial intelligence has a racial bias problem. Google is funding summer camps to try to change that
On a sunny Monday afternoon in Oakland, AI4All alum Ananya Karthik gathered a few dozen girls to show them how to use the Deep Dream Generator program to fuse images together and create a unique piece of art. OAKLAND -- Through connections made at summer camp, high school students Aarvu Gupta and Lili Sun used artificial intelligence to create a drone program that aims to detect wildfires before they spread too far. Rebekah Agwunobi, a rising high school senior, learned enough to nab an internship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, working on using artificial intelligence to evaluate the court system, including collecting data on how judges set bail. Both projects stemmed from the Oakland, Calif.-based nonprofit AI4All, which will expand its outreach to young under-represented minorities and women with a $1 million grant from Google.org, the technology giant's philanthropic arm announced Friday. Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly commonplace in daily life, found in everything from Facebook's face detection feature for photos to Apple's iPhone X facial recognition.

David Icke Waldo Photos Claims it is 'fun to use facial recognition' at Summer Camps
'There is nothing and I mean nothing that can justify using facial recognition to spy on kids at summer camps. Leave it to the great American police state and Waldo Photos to make it "fun to use facial recognition." "Waldo has come to camp, and he's packed his amazing photo technology in his trunk. Using facial recognition, Waldo finds photos of each camper and delivers them via text message to their families." Still wondering how Waldo Photos makes it fun to spy on kids, well worry no more.
