A ten-minute comparison
Open a featured experiment, ask for a prediction, run the comparison, and collect one explanation.
Open an exampleExplore the twelve applets
Start with a featured experiment or filter by the idea you need to teach.
Use one in class
The applets are designed for a short demonstration, a full inquiry cycle, or independent practice. Student work stays on the learner's device until they submit it through your normal classroom system.
A complete lesson
Use the scenario gallery, visual explanation, and response packet as one Predict, Observe, Explain, Transfer sequence.
Open the Teacher PackA four-lesson sequence
Move from search and logic to probability, model evaluation, and reinforcement learning.
Open the curriculum mapWhat makes the suite different
The contribution is not one new algorithm visualization. It is a coherent classroom packaging pattern across the foundational AI canon.
One concept at a timeEach applet opens on a concrete behavior rather than a menu or setup screen.
English and ChineseThe interface, teaching prompts, and state descriptions support both languages.
Portable by designEach applet is one HTML file that can run offline without an account or backend.
Misconception and fidelity notesTeacher guidance names the error the applet targets and what the model leaves out.
Classroom evidence flowScenario comparisons and local response packets keep student reasoning visible.
Inspectable qualityAlgorithmic regression tests and browser QA are included in the repository.
Use it, adapt it, or help others find it
AI Playgrounds is an open teaching project. Use it in class, reuse it under MIT, or support discovery with a GitHub star or a shared link.
Research, source, and reuse
Use the tagged release as the artifact of record, cite the project, inspect the implementation, or adapt one applet for your own course.
For researchers and reviewers
The design paper, citation metadata, architecture notes, and exact release information connect the public artifact to its scholarly account.
For developers and teachers
The source is intentionally plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Fork the project, take one applet, translate it, or change the scenarios without adopting a build system.
