Interacting with the Weather Predictor 1. Click the green flag to start the game. 2. Click on the Predictor sprite. It will ask you for the temperature. 3. Type a number (e.g., 85, 50, 25) into the answer box that appears at the bottom of the screen, then press Enter or click the blue checkmark. 4. The Predictor will make a weather forecast based on the temperature you provided. 5. Watch the background change to show the actual weather! Check the score to see if the prediction was correct. 6. Click the Predictor again to enter a new temperature and get another forecast.
This project is an example of a student-remixed version that makes the AI Weather Predictor more accurate. By adding the ask block, this version improves on the original by gathering a key piece of data—the temperature—before making a prediction. This change powerfully illustrates a core concept in Artificial Intelligence: the more relevant data a system has, the more intelligent its predictions can be. The activity now more clearly highlights how predictions are based on specific rules. The program's if-then blocks use the temperature input to follow logic that mirrors human reasoning (for example, “If the temperature is over 80, predict it will be sunny”). This is a great parallel to how real AI models are trained on data to find patterns. While more accurate, the predictor can still be wrong, demonstrating the limitations of AI models. This remixed version creates a stronger connection between human-designed logic and a program’s behavior, showing how people write the rules that allow AI systems to learn and make decisions.
