Evaluating AI project design and impacts

Lesson 8 of 8

CreateAI, MakeCode

11-14 yrs

This unplugged lesson is the final lesson after a series of lessons that use micro:bit CreateAI, a free tool for teaching about ML (machine learning) using movement data on the BBC micro:bit, to build personalised AI exercise timers.

Students are introduced to model cards in ML in the context of their AI exercise timer project and also consider the impacts of AI systems on people and society.

This lesson download includes required and optional materials, see lists below.

Students will need a paper or digital copy of the Model card worksheet to use in pairs or individually. A completed model card is included in the lesson download to support your understanding of how to use this resource.

Required materials for this lesson:

  • Lesson plan
  • Slides that include a video
  • Model card worksheet

Optional resources included in this lesson download:

  • Completed model card for the teacher
  • Evaluate your project worksheet
  • Transcript of video Impacts of AI
  • Finishing survey

Key learning:

  • I can evaluate my ML model and code running on a micro:bit.
