Step1
Strudents from the 2nd P.S of Nea Erythraia were asked to draw pictures of children in order to train a robot (more here) .
Step2
We create a survey based on those pictures and ask the students of our partner's schools to vote if those pictures were clear enough to make a human or a machine to decide if it'a a boy or a girls (quality data, stereotypes). They were also asked to reflect on those data, especially if all cases of children were included (African, Asian, with disabilities, glasses...)

Step4
the results:
Based on the results of the questionnaire, students have realized how important are Data (well defined, quality, diversity, without misunderstandings) to train a Machine Learning program. They also realized that they have reproduced some Unconscious Biases (girls have long hair and boys short hair) and have taken into account children with their own characteristics (European, no glasses, no fat children, no or very little children with handicaps, no African nor Asian children...).
