Climate Citizens
Participants will explore climate data as they roleplay entrepreneurs, creating an AI-powered climate app, and play a board game to collect data and train their AI.
In this activity, participants act as investigators to solve the mystery of a canceled fishing derby, exploring the responsible use of AI in problem-solving. Using a provided dataset and a simulated AI, they learn the importance of asking specific, hypothesis-driven questions to get useful results. The activity also highlights the unique skills humans bring to problem-solving, like the ability to spot missing information and collaborate, which are crucial for complex tasks where AI falls short. Ultimately, the goal is to show that an AI is only as effective as the instructions it’s given, with human agency being the key to success.
