Is Build a Smile Doorbell That Recognizes Family Members a good fit for young learners through Grade 2?
Build a Smile Doorbell That Recognizes Family Members is a good fit for students in early years to grade 2 who are interested in AI that sorts photos and recognizing family faces. CIT offers online or in-person lessons in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul, in one-to-one or small-group formats. Students make a response table with activity notes and a smile doorbell that greets family members.
Children use Teachable Machine to take camera photos, sort them into named groups, train the machine to tell two groups apart, and look for the photos it gets wrong. Next they collect family photos taken at different brightness levels and angles, train a model to recognize each family member, and test it on photos it has not seen. Finally they connect a spoken greeting for each person and music for smiling faces, try the smile doorbell at a real door, and demonstrate it for the family. This builds the foundation a college application later rests on: the student asks a question, makes something, revises it, and explains that process in their own words. At this age the habit comes before the artifact.

What counts as useful evidence?
A response table with activity notes and a smile doorbell that greets family members.
What should an admissions reader be able to see?
This builds the foundation a college application later rests on: the student asks a question, makes something, revises it, and explains that process in their own words. At this age the habit comes before the artifact.
Useful evidence may include a documented dataset, baseline comparison, model evaluation, error analysis, and a clear record of the student's own decisions.
The evidence an application reads is what the student understood, completed, and can explain.
