[Sugar-devel] Expressing Interest GSoC

[James Cameron]

Welcome Ahmed,

Further information about how Sugar works for children can be found in
the documentation https://help.sugarlabs.org/

You can also find more about Sugarizer on the https://sugarizer.org/
site.

Machine Learning is difficult to fit into elementary teaching, as it
is such a narrow and rapidly changing field, with a large base of
prerequisite knowledge.

Yes, there were ideas about Machine Learning, my previous post gave a
link to https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoC/issues/16

Think of a lesson plan for how a teacher could explain Machine
Learning to a child of nine years of age, without treating it as a
"black box" concept?

Each week I teach a class of about 12 children, and they don't need to
know about Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence in order to use
the products that depend on it.  It is often enough to say that it is
practical mathematics and logic; which is a deferral.
