Clubs

Dear Students, Staff, and Parents/Guardians,
 
We received an invitation from OKC Thunder for STEM events. This event is tailored toward K-12 students all across the state of Oklahoma. Traditionally, they have provided educational workbooks, STEM-focused activities, and even a science experiment-themed halftime presentation by Rumble, the Thunder mascot. School groups, families, and other fans come from all over the state to experience this special game atmosphere.

  • This club is a hands-on introduction to developing a machine-learning model with tabular data. Students explore how computers learn from data to make decisions, and then develop machine-learning projects around real-world data. The unit culminates in designing a machine learning app to solve a personally relevant problem.
                                

Chapter 1 Overview
Description: Students learn the basics of machine learning and use a tool called AI Lab to create machine learning models that can be used in the App Lab. The unit starts with an overview of machine learning and how computers can use patterns in data to make decisions and predictions. Then, students learn how to use AI Lab to train models from tabular data while exploring issues of bias.
Goals:
Create a machine learning model in AI Lab to solve a problem, and use App Lab to create an app that uses their model. Understand how machine learning models make decisions from data.
 
Chapter 2 Overview
Description: This chapter prepares students to be machine learning scientists to create an app that addresses an issue in their community. Students follow along with a fictional group of students as they define an issue, develop a survey to collect data, analyze their data in AI Lab, create a model card, and create an app to solve their problem. Then, in the final project, students repeat these same steps with an issue they care about in their community.
Goals:
Create machine learning models in AI Lab from their own data and use App Lab to create an app that uses their model to solve problems in their community.

cAn Ethics Bowl is a collaborative yet competitive event in which teams analyze a series of wide-ranging ethical dilemmas. Responses are judged according to the quality of a team’s reasoning and how well team members:

 - Organize and present their case
 - Attend to and analyze the morally relevant features of the case
 - Anticipate and preemptively respond to commentary and questions

An exciting tournament, an ethics bowl is a great way for students to deepen their understanding and appreciation of interesting ethical and philosophical issues. If you would like to sign up for this club please send an email to [email protected]
