  • Module 1: Like Fei Fei, use data to plan your own mission to the Moon. Ensure that your rocket can not only get you there, but also bring you and all your Moon rocks safely back to Earth.
  • In this module, you will:

    • Create a clear representation of data from many sources.
    • Use Python and pandas to explore data.
    • Use data cleansing techniques to get a clear representation of data.
    • Hypothesize how much rock sample astronauts might bring back on the Artemis missions.

  • Module 2: Learn how to use concepts from machine learning to predict the occurrence of meteor showers (or Moon Goddess tears).
  • In this module, you'll learn:

    • The basics of meteor showers: what they are and why we see them.
    • How to choose and collect appropriate data.
    • Strategies to cleanse and manipulate your data.

  • Module 3: Use the Custom Vision service to analyze images of animals, like Bungee, without ever writing code.
  • This module is part of a multimodal learning experience. Start the module to see how you can follow along!

    In this module, you will:

    • Create a good dataset of images for training AI.
    • Train a Custom Vision AI model on a particular animal.
    • Test the model you trained.
    • Ensure ethical practices throughout AI development.
