AI Explorers: Creative Coding with AI is a collection of 3 classroom-ready learning scenarios designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of AI through hands-on coding in PictoBlox. Each activity promotes creativity, critical thinking, and ethical awareness while helping learners understand how AI can see, hear, and respond to the world around them.

AI Guardian – Protect Your Digital Identity: Students explore how AI can detect faces and learn about digital privacy by building a face anonymizer that hides faces in photos or video.

AI Quiz – Speak and Learn Shapes: Learners create a voice-controlled quiz using speech recognition, where AI listens to spoken answers and rewards correct responses.

Gesture-Controlled Presentation – Learning Through AI and Movement: Students design an interactive presentation that reacts to hand gestures recognized by a custom-trained AI model.

Each scenario can be implemented independently or combined as part of a continuous learning sequence. Every activity also includes an optional student reflection worksheet at the end, encouraging deeper understanding and self-assessment of learning outcomes.
