Machine Learning For Kids has just become even more accessible and user-friendly! Now, students can dive into the world of machine learning using Python directly in their web browsers. This exciting update eliminates the need for any complex setups, installations, or account registrations, making it perfect for classroom environments and at-home learning.
This enhancement is inspired by the innovative work of Rebecca D’Cruz, who cleverly adapted Machine Learning for Kids worksheets using repl.it to simplify the process for her students. Repl.it is a fantastic browser-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that supports numerous programming languages, including Python. Its ease of use and no-registration policy make it an ideal platform for educational settings.
Recognizing the potential of repl.it, Machine Learning for Kids has seamlessly integrated this platform to make Python-based machine learning projects as straightforward as creating projects with Scratch. Template starter projects have been developed within repl.it. With a single click within Machine Learning for Kids, students can launch a cloned template, instantly ready for customization and exploration.
To further support young learners, interactive widgets are incorporated into Machine Learning for Kids. These helpful tools generate code snippets, guiding students in tailoring the templates to suit their unique project ideas.
To illustrate just how simple and quick it is to get started, two short videos have been created demonstrating the process. These videos showcase the creation of a fully functional machine learning program in Python from scratch in under three minutes – no exaggeration or fast-forwarding involved!

And here’s how it works for a numbers-based project:
Image-based projects are also supported, offering a wide range of possibilities for creative machine learning explorations.
With this update, Machine Learning for Kids continues to break down barriers and empower young minds to engage with AI and machine learning in a fun, accessible, and practical way. Explore the new Python browser-based projects and unleash the potential of machine learning for kids today!
