Introduction to Coding

I choose AI for Oceans for grades 3+ because I was interested in how they would provide information on coding for younger students.  The activity asked the participant to categorize fish based on different criteria to program the AI.  The AI then should be able to recognize the fish that would meet the outcome based…
