PictoBlox AI: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning for Kids

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have turned out to be the frontrunners of the fourth Industrial Revolution with technologies such as face detection systems, self-driving cars, and virtual assistants influencing our lives more than we realize. As a result, understanding artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning for kids of the 21st century has become important, as they are the future leaders and innovators of our world and because AI and ML are going to become a huge part of their lives and future.

To make today’s youth AI-ready, we’ve launched PictoBlox V3.1.0, also called PictoBlox AI, a bigger, better, and AI-enabled version of PictoBlox that makes learning artificial intelligence and machine learning for kids an easy, interactive, and fun experience through graphical programming!

AI & Machine Learning for Kids with PictoBlox AI

Over the last year, PictoBlox has helped hundreds of thousands of children learn to code the fun way, a must-have skill for them for living in and leading the 21st-century. Now, PictoBlox is here with its latest version to learn artificial intelligence and machine learning to kids in an interactive and playful manner.

PictoBlox AI has the following services for AI and machine learning for kids to learn AI in a fun way:

1. Artificial Intelligence

   The AI blocks in PictoBlox kids get to understand and learn AI and make various types of AI-based projects and prototypes to solve real-world problems. By making these projects, they will be able to learn the following artificial intelligence concepts:

   1. Computer Vision:

      These features allow kids to analyze an image for various features like a celebrity, brand, objects, landmarks, image tags, and image description.

   2. Face Detection:

      These features allow kids to analyze images for faces. If a face is present in the image, they can get the age, gender, emotion, and head gesture for every face detected in the image.

   3. Optical Character Recognition:

      These features enable kids to detect text from an image. They can utilize it in making real-world projects like automated AI-based Parcel sorting machines.

   4. Speech Recognition:

      These features enable kids to convert speech into text or vice versa. They can make real-world applications like mini Alexa, Siri, and much more.

2. Machine Learning

   PictoBlox’s tools for machine learning for kids enable them to experiment with the following features:

   1. Image-Based Machine Learning Models:

      With this feature, kids can train their models to detect, recognize, and classify various images. They can make fun AI games like Rock Paper Scissors or real-world projects like identifying if the patient has pneumonia or not from lung’s X-rays etc.

   2. Pose-Based Machine Learning Models:

      With this feature, kids can train their models to detect, recognize, and classify various human body postures. Students can use this feature to make projects like greeting people based on their body poses or a system to detect various Yoga postures and much more.

   3. Audio-Based Machine Learning Models:

      With this feature, kids can train their models to detect, recognize, and classify various sounds. They can make models that respond to particular sounds in an intelligent way

3. Pre-Trained Models

   Apart from allowing kids to import their models, PictoBlox AI also has some pre-trained machine learning models that they can directly use in their AI and machine learning projects. Using these pre-trained machine learning models, kids can make interactive AI and machine learning projects that can identify human body parts, hands, and objects through a camera or on the stage or design interactive gesture-controlled games. These models make PictoBlox AI a platform to learn artificial intelligence and machine learning for kids.

4. Neural Network

   With the Neural Network feature of PictoBlox, kids can train the machines to identify the relationship between the input and output data, which can be used for making predictions and will thus give rise to an intelligent machine.

   Using neural networks, kids will be able to make the following type of projects:

   Hardware-Based Projects: Utilize the hardware available with them to make artificially intelligent prototypes like a Sun Tracker that tracks sunlight using light sensors in a smarter way or an intelligent AI-based line follower Robot, and much more.
