My question is, of course, how many of us had to solve machine learning problems in high school? In my case, it hadn't even been invented. Here we have a case where a high school student has been given the problem of optimizing traffic flow in his school parking lot. There's so much to love about this - how it's local, how it's practical, how it requires him to learn artificial intelligence, how he can turn to the interwebs for advice, how he's referenced existing literature, how he finds out about queuing theory. and is referred to a GitHub repository as a starting point. Learning in the 21st century isn't about memorizing trig formulae and solving problem sets.
