Differentiation

To make things easier, you can pre-create the blocks in Scratch ML and share the project to class to put together.

Start with simple controls, like moving left and right.

Extension

Challenge ākonga to add broadcast messages for controling additional sprites and/or backdrops

About Activity

This session guides ākonga to use the Scratch Machine Learning interface to create a program that uses the Speech to Text blocks to control the actions of a sprite with their voice!

Scratch - Machine Learning for Kids provides models that have been ‘pre-trained’ and are ready for you to use. Real-world machine learning projects also often use models already trained by others.
