K-3: M4W3:Sort It Out! – Cookies, Toys & Data

This scene sets the stage for the week’s learning by introducing a relatable and visually engaging problem. Chimpu’s treehouse is a mess—with objects like socks, books, toys, and snacks all jumbled together. This chaos becomes a metaphor for unsorted data, helping children understand why organization and classification are important for both humans and AI.

The narrator invites learners to help Chimpu clean up—while sneakily introducing the idea that smart machines (AI) also need to sort information to “learn” and function properly. This opening sparks curiosity and builds the emotional investment of wanting to help Chimpu solve his problem.
