Learning AI and coding with Pictoblox

Artificial intelligence(AI) refers to the simulation or approximation of human intelligence in machines. The goal of artificial intelligence is to computer enhance human intelligence, perception and reasoning.AI is being used across different fields like finance, healthcare and in education.AI in education generates new form of interactions where students can speak, gesture, sketch and use other natural human modes of communication to interact with a computational resource as well as each other.AI can generate human like response. Some of the applications of AI in education are personalized learning, chatbot, tutoring, adaptive learning and many more.AI can help the SEN  students access a more equitable education, for e.g Reading a passage for a visually impaired student.

Pictoblox is a coding education software that uses both graphical block based coding and Python programming along with AI extensions. It has a user friendly interface and drag-and-drop functionality which will ease up  beginners into the coding environment. The word coding often sounds complicated but Pictoblox takes you through a creative and engaging coding  journey with its simple color coded   drag-and-drop programming that makes the students stay interested and also help them with different functions each colored block possesses.

One always wonders if what they have coded is actually working, Pictoblox solves this with a stage where all the coding can be seen working with the help of a character called sprite or it can be any object .We can add such sprite or character accordingly and also the edit the background of behind the sprite with the option provided or download anything of our choice. We can not only learn coding but can also practically apply knowledge of mathematics, science and learn more effectively.

At Bit and Brick students can learn to  make games, animations, control robots and a lot of fun coding not just on the computer but with the help of a Pictoblox robot called QUARKY.it is one of many robot which can be connected to Pictoblox with the help of a USB or Bluetooth and watch the wonders of coding in front of you.

‍

Pictoblox has added artificial intelligence extensions like facial recognition, object detection, machine learning, text and speech recognition and many more which we can  learn at bit and brick and practically apply the knowledge by solving real world problems by making prototypes of  projects like a smart sensor dustbin, or detector for  movement in a room which switches on and  off light by detecting movement, these things are around students and they might have used it or seen it but always have that question in their mind of how it works, at bit and brick we can solve these questions for the students and have an impactful learning experience .
