Computer Vision
A field of AI that trains computers to interpret and understand visual information like images and video.
👩🏫 How to Explain by Age Group
Elementary (K–5)
“Computer Vision means a computer can “see” pictures or videos and know what’s in them, like recognizing a cat in a photo or shapes in a drawing.”
Middle School (6–8)
“This type of AI helps machines understand images. For example, it lets apps recognize faces, find objects in photos, or read handwriting.”
High School (9–12)
"Computer Vision enables AI systems to process and analyze visual data. It’s used in facial recognition, autonomous vehicles, and educational tools that interpret handwritten work or visual learning patterns.”
🚀 Classroom Expeditions
Mini-journeys into AI thinking.
Elementary (K–5)
Play a game where students guess what’s in a blurry photo. Then show how computers need to learn to “see” just like we do. Mention how tools can support younger students with visual learning aids.
Middle School (6–8)
Use a basic image classification tool like Google’s Teachable Machine. Let students train a model to recognize different classroom objects. Highlight how education tools use similar systems to help with tasks like reading handwriting or analyzing student responses.
High School (9–12)
Assign students to research real-world applications of Computer Vision in healthcare, transportation, and education. Ask them to design a proposal for how a school could use vision-powered tools like those in Vervotex Education to enhance performance tracking or accessibility.
