Kids wave, clap or jump with a micro:bit, train a model on their own movements, then code what happens when it spots them. Real machine learning, held in your hand.

Train a model on text, pictures or numbers, then use it inside Scratch to build a game or chatbot. About two dozen guided projects, made by an IBM engineer.
