Making the Call on AI Referees
Duration: 45 minutes
Grade Levels: 3-8

In this lesson, students will explore how AI models are trained by testing a simulated AI referee on judging penalty kicks in soccer. They will work in teams to run a test, decide whether or not the AI referee made an accurate call, and record their findings.
