Computing

Machine learning, or AI (artificial intelligence), can help us solve lots of the world's problems. One of these problems that links in with our topic is plastic pollution of the ocean. In this coding challenge, you must code an AI machine to tell the difference between fish and trash found in the sea. If you are successful, it will be able to clean up the waters all by itself!
