Try out Google Teachable Machine using your own webcam, microphone or photos. The homepage linked below contains tutorial videos if you are having trouble getting started.

Google Teachable Machine is an online tool for training and observing a machine learning AI system. You can train it to recognise objects in images, poses and sounds.

(For more advanced users, the trained model can even be put to use to make decisions within conventional code. See this lesson at Digital Technologies Hub.)

CAUTION

Student privacy should be considered when using this tool with your class. Rather than photos of student faces, consider using hand gestures, semaphore, toys or emojis.
