An Introduction to Artificial Neural Networks
This teaching pack is designed to introduce artificial neural networks to 14 to 18-year-olds.
The pack comprises:
- An interactive PowerPoint presentation which examines how we learn using our brain and examines, what exactly is an artificial neural network?
- Provides a basic introduction to how an artificial neural network learns.
- Introduces a simple Eyeball Neural Network and associated activity- how does the network learn to detect apples?
- A hands-on classroom activity where you get to identify features and classify items in a bag.
The Artificial Neural Network slides with teacher's notes and activities can be downloaded as a zip file here.
