Are you ready to explore Artificial Intelligence with your kid? This week, it’s the Artificial Intelligence assistant game!
The whole weekend
3-10 year olds
Want to teach your kids how to be artificial intelligence assistant? Artificial intelligence experience for the whole family: Mom, dad, brothers, sisters, grandma, and grandpa. When you are home with your kid, ask many questions based on weekend planning, books you read together or random questions in general. Tell your child: You are my artificial intelligence assistant so that you can answer my questions. When I say “Hey kiddo”, eye contact with me and also put on your hat and answer my questions if you know. Otherwise, say I don’t know the answer.
Ask all questions you need to get answers. Your kid is your little artificial intelligence assistant.
You don’t have to get the right answer, however, ask leading questions to let your kid brainstorm.
Start asking all questions like, “Hey, kiddo” phrase. Get their knowledge, vocabulary, and experience from their imagination from the intangible environment to parents.
If he/she is not able to answer, it is ok to a little help from you.
A fun and relaxing weekend with your family may be just what the whole family need, however, you have questions to be answered.
How about your little ones? Are you ready to be assisted by your little ones? This is artificial intelligence assistant game.
Before making any plan, just ask some questions your kids to make decision.
Remember, questions always should start with, Hey kiddo!
Decision-making takes several factors and variables. Before even making decision, it is crucial to ask some questions.
Let’s start with possible questions you might want to ask your little ones.
Don’t search what is the weather look like today, but just ask!
Ask them questions to answer random questions.
For example. Hey Kiddo, what is the weather look like today? Let him answer. If he/she doesn’t know, let your kid look outside from window or open the door to feel it.
Don’t check the refrigerator for milk, yoghurt or other food, but just ask what you need for the week.
Ask your kid, hey kiddo, do we have milk, cereal, egg? Hey, Kiddo, show me where is your milk?
Hey kiddo do we need to go shopping? If says yes. Ask following question. Ok, kiddo! Where should we go for shopping? Hey, Kiddo, Where would you like to go, today?
You can even keep playing artificial intelligence games with your little ones even if you don’t go outside for having fun or grocery shopping.
Playing artificial intelligence game can be enjoyable for a while, but the challenge and fun might diminish.
After some questioning and answering practice, asking the relevant and customized questions based on your kids’ interest would be better to pay more attention.
Bring back the fun by adding a hat, with glasses to use as a sensor would be a great addition.
Doctorate in Education
Originally from Turkey, then Pittsburgh, now California
I got my Doctorate in educating kids how to code, and how to think computationally so they can thrive in STEM. I have been researching how Offline Activities -- where kids aren't in front of a screen, but are playing in the real world -- can help kids get core concepts of coding.
This activity teaches your kids how internet of things, robot and computer works. Their sensory organs (eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin) provide information to their brain so that it can make decisions and think computationally. In this activity, ear is the sensory organ for your kids to detect the sounds. This is very similar to the working of artificial intelligence robot sensors, right? Their brain continuously uses the experience, knowledge that it receives from your experience to make decisions, reason heuristically and answer questions accurately. In this activity, your kids’ ears enable to hear sounds, based on experiences and knowledge make decisions and answer. However, artificial intelligence robots make decisions based on data (Experience for humans). They don't just explore Artificial Intelligence, but think computationally to abstract your questions and make things concrete instead of abstract.
