Wildfires: from research to real-world AI solutions

A hands-on in class experience

Create your own AI model

Ages: 10-15

Estimated Duration: 45 minutes

Use this Slides-based experience to bridge the gap between environmental science and computer science in your classroom.

How can AI help a community detect wildfires from space?

This lesson answers this by simulating the real-world work of AI researchers. Students step into the role of scientists to build a machine learning model capable of identifying fires using satellite imagery. By using Teachable Machine, students engage in the critical steps of the AI process: cleaning data, labeling images, handling tricky "edge cases" and more.

Use this Slides deck, this Teacher Guide and the provided datasets to guide your students through the full lifecycle of training an AI model.
