Introduction to Machine Learning with Scratch
Machine Learning is one of the most exciting branches of Artificial Intelligence, widely used in today’s technologies. In this course, we use the simple and engaging Scratch environment to teach the fundamentals of Machine Learning in a fun and easy-to-understand way for children and teenagers. Through hands-on projects, students will learn how programs can “learn” from data, recognize patterns, and make predictions. Our goal is to introduce the younger generation to one of the most important skills of the future and provide a foundation for their creativity and innovation.

Machine Learning with Scratch (Ages 8+)
Introduction
In today’s rapidly advancing technological world, teaching modern concepts to children is more important than ever. The “Machine Learning with Scratch” course is designed specifically for children aged 8 and above, introducing them to the basics of machine learning and artificial intelligence in a simple, visual, and interactive way.
What Is the Goal of This Course?
The primary goal of this course is to provide an introductory understanding of key AI and machine learning concepts in a safe and engaging environment suitable for children. Without requiring complex math, the course introduces children to ideas like classification, prediction, and decision-making in an easy-to-understand format.
What Skills Will Be Taught?
The main concepts covered in this course include:
- Pattern recognition – Identifying patterns in data to predict outcomes
- Data classification – Grouping information based on specific characteristics
- Automated decision-making – Creating systems that make decisions using data
- Basic AI awareness – Understanding what AI is through fun and practical projects
- Problem-solving skills – Enhancing children’s ability to think logically and creatively
The Role of Scratch in Teaching These Concepts
Scratch is a visual and child-friendly programming language that perfectly aligns with the way children think and learn. It allows complex concepts to be implemented as stories, animations, or games, making learning both fun and scientifically effective.
