Course Outline
The "Smart Barnyard AI Vision Programming" is an 8-session (45 mins per session) course for K-12 students with no programming experience. It integrates AI vision module, hardware operation and basic programming, guiding students to complete practical farm-related tasks (wild animal prevention, bird driving, automatic feeding) to improve STEM literacy.
8-Session Detailed Outline
| Session | Topic | Core Objectives | Key Content | Group Tasks | Assessment |
