An interactive educational game that teaches kids (ages 11+) about machine learning and AI ethics.

• Train Your Own AI: Use your webcam to train a real image classifier
• Ethics Challenges: Solve real-world AI scenarios about privacy, bias, and fairness
• Browser-Based ML: Uses TensorFlow.js - no installation needed!

1. Open index.html in a modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari)
2. Allow camera access when prompted
3. Follow the on-screen instructions

Option 1: Check Browser Permissions

• Look for a camera icon in your browser's address bar
• Click it and make sure camera access is "Allowed"
• Refresh the page

Option 2: Use a Local Server Some browsers require HTTPS for camera access. You can run a local server:

# If you have Python installed:
python -m http.server 8000

# Then open: http://localhost:8000

Option 3: Check Browser Console

1. Press F12 to open Developer Tools
2. Click the "Console" tab
3. Look for error messages that might help diagnose the issue

• "Camera access denied": Click "Allow" when the browser asks for permission
• Black screen: Make sure another app isn't using your camera
• No permission prompt: Try a different browser or check your OS camera privacy settings

• Modern web browser (Chrome 90+, Edge 90+, Firefox 85+, Safari 14+)
• Webcam
• Internet connection (for loading TensorFlow.js library)

1. Machine Learning Basics

   • Training data and testing data
   • How AI learns patterns
   • Model accuracy and prediction

2. Critical Thinking About AI

   • Privacy concerns
   • Algorithmic bias
   • Fair AI systems
   • Responsible AI use

3. Real-World Applications

   • Facial recognition ethics
   • AI in education
   • Social media algorithms
   • AI creativity

• TensorFlow.js - Machine learning in the browser
• Vanilla JavaScript - No frameworks needed
• HTML5 Canvas - For image processing
• WebRTC - For webcam access
