Unit Objectives

  • Explain what a neural network is and how it draws inspiration from the brain.
  • Understand neural network structure, including neurons, layers, and connections.
  • Describe how neural networks learn and generate predictions.
  • Understand the concept of deep learning.
  • Visualize and interact with simple neural network concepts.
  • Recognize neural networks in real-world applications.

Unit Overview

Learners demystify neural networks—one of today’s most powerful AI techniques—by connecting biological neuron behaviour to artificial models. Visual activities and interactive demos help students grasp how layered networks process information and learn complex patterns without advanced mathematics.
