Lesson
Cats, Dogs, and Sample Sizes: Bias, Classification, and Statistics in AI
Author: Myranda Carbone
Students train their own image classifier using different sample sizes and evaluate the system for bias based on dataset bias and sample size.

Lesson
Teachable Machines and Probabilities, Sampling, and Bias
Author: Ariel Roller and Teresa Muñoz
Students learn to use Google's Teachable Machine, and then apply their knowledge to create a dance move identifier using a pose model and an iterative process that helps them learning about probabilities, sampling, and bias.
Standards: probabilities, sampling bias

Lesson
What is a Pixel?
Author: Ariel Roller
Students create pixel art using a digital tool, pixil.art, and complete a design challenge that allows them to practice ratios and fractions. Assessment is built-in to the calculations required for the final design challenge submission. Allows for creativity, strategic thinking, and an optional opportunity for friendly competition.
Standards alignment: Ratios, fractions, decimals
Lesson
Volume of an Action Figure
Author: Kyle Scatena
Students use TinkerCAD to create an action figure design and then calculate the compound volume, and end with a battle royale using the simulation of gravity and the projectile feature.
Standards: calculating compound volume of 3d objects.
Lesson
Surface Area and Volume using TinkerCAD
Author: Linda Fortune
Students find the surface area and volume of a rectangular prism by designing and constructing a house in TinkerCAD 3D modeling
Lesson
Geometric Transformations In Pixlr
Author: Myranda Carbone
Students use an image editing program and masking and transformation tools to create an image collage.
Standards: geometric transformations on a coordinate grid (dilation, rotation, translation, reflection)
Lesson
Making it All Fit: Uniform and Non-Uniform Scaling
Author: Teresa Muñoz
How do uniform and non-uniform scaling affect an image?
In a design challenge, students explore image editing software, Pixlr.com to create a collage of a "dream room" for a fictional magazine. Students explore design concepts of layout and theme, mathematical concepts of scale factors, and computational concepts of file handling, image editing and masking.
Standards: Scale factor(s) for the width and height of an object.
Lesson
Convex and Concave Identification
Author: Isaac Robles
This lesson focuses on convex and concave shape identification and uses TinkerCAD to create the shapes and Teachable Machine to train a machine learning image classification algorithm to identify the objects.

Lesson
Scaling the Planets
Author: LaDawn Click
Students use an image editing program and image sizes via pixel values to scale the earth and moon to the appropriate size in a collage.
Lesson
Scaling Space
Author: Mandy Fierro
Students use Tinkercad modeling to create a scale model of planets in the solar system. This lesson specifically focuses on the advanced duplication technique in Tinkercad that scales copies in a series exponentially rather than linearly.
Lesson
Budget your Build
Author: Kyle Scatena
Students use Tinkercad to create building or town with specific instructions for how much money they can spend.
