Welcome to the AI Kids Kit Project kicked off at the Fix/Hack/Learn event in Feb 2022.
To create a kit that you can use with your child (age 8-15) to introduce him/her/them to fundamental concepts of Artifical Intelligence.
The kit will include one or more of:
| Artifact | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Visual Storytelling Assets | Graphical content like zines, videos, characters, templates and posters to engage child in discussion. |
| Lobe.AI Tutorials | Project Ideas with Lobe.AI to train image classification models - with no code! |
| Lobe.AI Integrations | Explore ways to use trained models with kid-friendly coding environments like MakeCode and Scratch |
| Demo App | A standalone app that demonstrates key concepts interactively to kids, using a (virtual) robot character for interactions |
| Kid-Friendly Fonts | Create stories using characters and slide templates, with fonts that mimic kids handwriting for fun & connection. |
The website is deployed at https://aka.ms/ai-kids-kit. Read about the SETUP using the following technologies:
| Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Docusaurus | React-based Static Site Generator from Facebook. #3 on Rising Stars for SSG options. |
| Azure Static Web Apps | Secure hosting on Azure, automated deployment workflow with GitHub Actions. |
| PWABuilder | Auditing for performance, retrofitting into a Progressive Web App for offline usage, potential publish to app store. |
The website is structured to take advantage of Docusaurus' blog, tutorial and indepdent pages format - along with ease of using React components for custom pages later. Here are the main sections:
