“Sparky” Is The Latest Effort By Google To Find Something Useful To Do With Its AI

Google continues to try – usually unsuccessfully (except for NotebookLM) – a useful way to use its Artificial Intelligence abilities.

Sparky is its latest effort.

It basically lets you try to invent new things in a fun way.

If I was still teaching history to English Language Learners, I’d probably have students give it a try when we learned about famous inventions.  As part of that unit, I always had students try to design a new invention.

Sparky is pretty scaffolded, so it would be accessible to them.

Having them use paper-and-pencil to design their invention always worked well, so I wouldn’t use Sparky instead of doing that, but it could be a fun little fifteen minute addition.

I’m adding this info to The Best Sites Where Students Can Learn About Inventions.
