Scientists and Computer Engineers use Neural Networks to handle difficult code. This code is used for important projects like translating languages, generating captions for videos, modeling jet engines, programming video games, and self-driving cars. Neural networks work by sending information from one point to another, across a series of layers to make a prediction about the given information. By showing a Neural Network a bunch of images, you can train it to understand the images, and make predictions about new images it hasn’t seen before.
The student handout will be given to all students working on the design challenge. It gives a brief recap of the story, it helps the students identify what they are attempting to achieve, and it recaps the design process.
This Instructor’s Guide provides the instructor additional information on how to run the design challenge with alternatives for materials and test setups as well as information to help make the design challenge a good educational experience.
The Telling the Story Video conveys the societal impact of the student’s research that is the basis for the design challenge and will set the problem-solving context for students.
The Design Challenge Video leads students through the design process. It indicates materials available, states what the criteria are for success and any constraints. It also gives a second ‘level’ of the design challenge that allows ‘early completers’ to move on to a slightly more difficult challenge.
