Unit Objectives

• Define machine learning and explain how it differs from traditional programming.
• Identify and explain the three main types of machine learning.
• Understand training data, testing data, and model accuracy.
• Build simple machine learning models using accessible tools.
• Explain how algorithms learn from data.
• Recognize why data quality matters in machine learning.

Unit Overview

Students dive into the core ideas behind machine learning, exploring how computers learn from data and practicing with approachable, hands-on tools. The emphasis is on conceptual understanding through experimentation rather than complex mathematics.
