Tinkering with AI: Machine Learning at Mayoor Private School

 “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” – Peter Drucker

Our Grade 8 students brought this idea to life with their exciting project, classifying images using the Machine Learning for Kids platform. They trained a model with images of fruits—apples, bananas, and oranges—collecting and labeling the images to teach the AI. The model even displayed confidence percentages, showing how sure it was about each prediction.

The students then took their project a step further by integrating the trained model into MIT App Inventor, creating an interactive app that allows users to see AI in action in real time. This process gave them hands-on experience with both AI concepts and app development, demonstrating how models can learn from data and make real-world decisions.

As AI is an integral part of our lives, learning how to work with it is essential for the future. Our students are not just learning theory—they are actively implementing AI through hands-on projects. By exploring how models can make predictions and interact with real-world applications, they develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation skills, preparing them to use technology responsibly and creatively.

This project was more than coding—it was a journey of creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving. By combining the Machine Learning for Kids platform with app development, the students turned their ideas into a functional, AI-powered application, inspiring others to experiment, tinker, and explore the possibilities of AI.

Through these projects,  our students are not only learning about the technology of today but also building the skills and mindset to create the solutions of tomorrow.

E - Waste To Robots

Image
  "Give e-waste a second chance, recycle for a sustainable advance!" The term "e-waste" is an abbreviation of "electronic waste". A key part of the definition is the word "waste" and what it logically implies – that the item has no further use and is rejected as useless or excess to the owner in its current condition. Third Graders Turn E-Waste into STEM Learning Robots                   The students of grade 3 recently showcased their innovative spirit and commitment to sustainability by transforming discarded electronics into functional robots. This hands-on project, led by Ms. Reena Fernades and supported by all other grade 3 teachers , provided a unique opportunity for students to explore the principles of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) while learning about the importance of recycling and responsible waste management . The project began with a discussion about the environmental imp...

A Chocolicious Story

Image
“Design is intelligence made visible.” - Alina Wheeler Encouraging Stem Learning through Design Thinking Activity Grade 6 students recently had an exciting opportunity to apply design thinking skills in a real-world context by designing their own chocolate wrappers. This activity not only promoted creativity and innovation but also integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning in a fun and engaging way. Considering the Weight, Name, Nutritional Facts, and Flavor As part of the design thinking process, students had to consider several factors in creating their chocolate wrappers. First, they needed to think about the weight of the chocolate, which would impact the size and design of the wrapper. Second, students had to come up with a catchy name for their chocolate that would appeal to potential customers. Third, they had to include accurate nutritional facts, which required them to apply mathematical skills in calculating the amount of...
