About this activity

A friendly lab where students build a tiny word-count language model, watch it write, retrain it on different libraries, catch it making things up, plan a tool-using agent and finish with how to use AI safely.

What students learn

  • Model next-word prediction by counting word pairs in a training text and turning counts into probability bars (A2.1)
  • Predict what a model writes when it always takes the most likely next word (A2.1)
  • Explain how training data shapes and can bias a model's answers (A2.2)
  • Check a model's confident claims against a source and flag the made-up ones (A2.2)
  • Plan an agent loop and pick the right tool for a task (A2.1, A2.2)
  • Decide what never to share with an AI tool and how to verify an answer (A2.2)
