Computer Vision

A field of AI that trains computers to interpret and understand visual information like images and video.

Help me explain to...

K–5th
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.


6–8th
This type of AI helps machines understand images. For example, it lets apps recognize faces, find objects in photos, or read handwriting.


9–12th
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.

Expeditions

K–5th
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.


6–8th
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.


9–12th
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 to enhance performance tracking or accessibility.
