Book Synopsis



A hands-on, application-based introduction to machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). Create compelling AI-powered games and applications using the Scratch programming language.

AI Made Easy with 13 Projects

Machine learning (also known as ML) is one of the building blocks of AI, or artificial intelligence. AI is based on the idea that computers can learn on their own, with your help.

Machine Learning for Kids will introduce you to machine learning, painlessly. With this book and its free, Scratch-based companion website, you'll see how easy it is to add machine learning to your own projects. You don't even need to know how to code!

Step by easy step, you'll discover how machine learning systems can be taught to recognize text, images, numbers, and sounds, and how to train your models to improve them.

You'll turn your models into 13 fun computer games and apps, including:

  • A Rock, Paper, Scissors game that recognizes your hand shapes
  • A computer character that reacts to insults and compliments
  • An interactive virtual assistant (like Siri or Alexa)
  • A movie recommendation app
  • An AI version of Pac-Man

  • There's no experience required and step-by-step instructions make sure that anyone can follow along!

    No Experience Necessary! Ages 12+
