Activity Details

Challenge your students to master the art of balance with Tynker’s innovative coding activity. They’ll employ Tynker’s Physics blocks and AI Pose Tracking to build an interactive game where the player aims to balance an object on a platform using their face movements. Complete with a sample project and easy-to-follow tutorial, students are set for an engaging learning experience.

A functional webcam is required for this activity, enabling the interactive element of the game.

Teacher Notes

Introduce the concepts of physics and AI simultaneously with Tynker’s AI Pose Tracking library. In this engaging classroom activity, students will design a game that tests their ability to keep an object steady on screen by moving their face. With Tynker’s pre-trained AI models, this advanced technology becomes accessible to novices through block coding. Inspire your students to personalize their games and discover the fun in physics and coding.
