What Can You Train?

| Type | Examples | |------|---------| | 🖼️ Images | Thumbs up/down, your face vs a friend's | | 🎵 Audio | Your voice saying different words | | 🕺 Poses | Standing vs sitting vs jumping |

🎮 Let's Walk Through Training an Image Classifier

Step 1: Define your categories

Example: "Thumbs Up" vs "Thumbs Down"

Step 2: Collect training data

Class 1 - Thumbs Up: Hold thumbs up in front of camera Take 100+ photos (different angles, lighting) Class 2 - Thumbs Down: Hold thumbs down in front of camera Take 100+ photos (More photos = better accuracy!)

Step 3: Train!

Click "Train Model" — watch as accuracy goes from 40% → 95%+ in real-time!

Step 4: Test it!

Hold up your thumb. Does AI get it right? 🎉

Step 5: Export and use!

You can use your model in websites, apps, or Scratch projects!
