“Machine learning systems are all around us. We all use, interact with, or are affected by, machine learning systems every day. If our goal is to help children to understand how the world around them works, then understanding machine learning is an important topic. Also, the impact machine learning systems will have on our lives will only continue to increase.

Understanding machine learning is an essential topic to help the next generation engage in that societal debate.”
