Google’s Quick, Draw! is an AI experiment that was trained on hundreds of thousands of doodles drawn by people from all over the world. Engineers used these doodles and a type of machine learning algorithm called a neural network to teach a computer to guess the doodle someone is trying to draw. In this activity, you’ll be testing whether this AI is any good at deciphering YOUR doodles. You’ll be asked to draw six sketches, each in under a minute. As you draw lines, the AI that is powering Quick, Draw! will attempt to guess what you are trying to draw. Follow the instructions and let's see how it goes! STEP ONE: Go to the homepage for Quick, Draw! STEP TWO: Click on the yellow LET’S DRAW button and complete the six prompts. STEP THREE: Complete the reflection questions below.
