• Provides early exposure to Big Data, Machine Learning, and AI—skills in high demand across industries.
• Children create interactive AI models, data visualizations, and fun experiments, fostering creative expression.
• Reinforces mathematical and statistical concepts in practical, engaging ways using real data sets.
• Kids get hands-on experience with Python, Teachable Machine, or Scratch, making tech feel accessible.
Session 1 : What is Big Data?
Difference between regular data and big data
Real-life examples: YouTube, weather data, games
Activity: Imagine how much data YouTube gets every hour
Visual: “1,000,000 Lego bricks = Big Data!”
Session 2 : How is Big Data Collected?
Structured vs unstructured data
Devices, apps, sensors, social media
Activity: Create a “data diary” of one day’s digital activities
Session 3 : How Big Data is Processed
- Data centers, cloud computing
- Tools like Google BigQuery (intro concepts)
- Story: “From Chaos to Clarity – The Data Journey”
- Simple visual: funneling raw data into charts
Session 4 : Patterns & Predictions with Data
- How patterns are spotted in big data
Use a spreadsheet to identify trends (games, shopping, weather)
Mini project: Predict the most played game in a week based on data
Session 5 : Intro to Artificial Intelligence
AI vs traditional programming
Use examples: YouTube suggestions, Google Translate
Hands-on: Train a model using Teachable Machine
Session 6 : How Big Data Powers AI
Data is the “fuel” for AI brains
Case study: Self-driving cars need thousands of road images
Activity: Match the right data with AI tasks (images for vision, words for chatbot)
Session 7 : Data Ethics & Digital Responsibility
What is data privacy?
Fairness, bias, and security in AI
Storytime: “The Curious Bot Who Didn’t Understand Fairness”
Build a “Be Fair with Data” kid pledge
Session 8 : Final Project – AI Idea Powered by Big Data
Pick a challenge (e.g., clean air, smart school, game recommendation)
Plan how big data + AI solve it
Present as poster, pitch, or simple digital prototype
Get certified as “Big Data & AI Junior Innovator”
