Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that enables computers and robots to perform tasks requiring intelligence. The tasks can be as simple as programming a computer to play an easy game like tic-tac-toe or as challenging as having a computer diagnose and treat a sick patient. Sometimes artificial intelligence is used to get machines to do things that humans already do well, like using spoken language to communicate. Other times AI is used to do tasks that are hard for humans, like predicting how new proteins might fold up into 3D structures and how those structures interact with other nearby proteins.

Machine learning is a subfield of AI where a machine "learns" how to do something without the programming telling it exactly how to deal with every step. In machine learning, a computer is given data from which it builds a model, and that model can repeatedly be trained, tested, and have more data added until it performs well. Companies are using machine learning to build robots that walk, self-driving cars, computers that can compose music, and many other types of technology.

You can try your hand at AI and machine learning with these exciting projects and experiments.

Classify Spam Emails with Natural Language Processing

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Have you ever wondered how your phone or email automatically detects and filters junk messages into spam? This feature helps ensure you focus on the messages that truly matter. In this project, you’ll build your own spam detector using natural language processing (NLP) techniques. Read more

Can AI Classify Stars?

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Understanding the different types of celestial objects in our galaxy is important for astronomers. It helps them study how these objects form and evolve, map the night sky, understand the structure of the Milky Way and other galaxies, and identify celestial bodies that might host habitable environments. In this project, you will create a boosted tree model to classify celestial objects based on their spectral characteristics. Read more

Predict Air Quality with Machine Learning

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Air pollution is a growing issue, especially in cities, due to the rise of industrial activities, increased fossil fuel consumption from things like car use, and natural events like wildfires. This pollution is measured by the Air Quality Index (AQI), which shows how clean or polluted the air is. But what if we could predict changes in AQI to help communities plan ahead to protect people who are at risk from air pollution? That’s where machine learning comes in. In this project, you will… Read more

Can AI Predict Who Survived the Titanic's Sinking?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Given the right data, AI can be good at making predictions. In this project, you will create a KNN machine learning model that tries to predict whether a passenger on the Titanic survived based on multiple factors such as age, sex, and fare price. This project requires little to no coding skill; instead, you will need an open mind and curiosity to learn. Ready to give it a try? Read more

Can AI Diagnose Breast Cancer?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Getting started with machine learning is like unlocking a new world of possibilities, and the best part is that you don't need to be a computer genius to do it! In this project, you will create a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) machine learning model that can predict whether a patient has a benign tumor or malignant breast cancer based on the characteristics of the tumor cell nucleus, such as its radius, perimeter, area, and smoothness. Read more

Predicting Future Water Quality with Machine Learning

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Understanding the water quality of our rivers, streams, and lakes is critical for maintaining healthy ecosystems and sources of drinking water. Dissolved oxygen is one key water quality measurement that impacts aquatic life. But how can we predict how water quality might change in the future so we can intervene to keep our water healthy? With machine learning! In this project, you will gather water quality data for a location of your choice and use a random forest model to predict future… Read more

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Have you ever wondered how your smart devices can recognize and distinguish your face from that of others? In this project, you will explore how to create and modify a facial recognition model using a type of artificial intelligence known as neural networks. This project is designed for beginners and requires little to no coding experience. Ready to give it a shot? Read more

Predicting Thyroid Cancer Recurrence with Machine Learning

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

For cancer patients, remission–a period when the signs and symptoms of cancer are reduced or disappear–brings immense relief, but there is often a chance of recurrence, or the cancer coming back. Have you ever wondered how doctors can predict if cancer might come back in some patients? Thyroid cancer, a type of cancer affecting the thyroid gland, has a recurrence rate of about 5-30%. Depending on many factors, some patients may have a higher chance of thyroid cancer recurrence than… Read more
