This seminar will present the research and design rationales behind ml-machine.org — the precursor to micro:bit’s CreateAI. This educational tool lets students build machine learning models with accelerometer data from the micro:bit. Karl-Emil Bilstrup will show prototypes of tangible interfaces and embodied activities that enable secondary-level students to explore data processes and machine learning practices. He will discuss how these tools can support critical reflections on the ethical design considerations and trade-offs involved in creating data-driven systems and how they…
