The game at the link above has two activities:

1. A basic Tamagotchi game, where you can clean, feed and play with a virtual pet
2. A “Train your Tamagotchi” game, which uses a very simple neuronal network (with only one neurone) to allow you to get your virtual pet to beg, hold out a paw, or sit.

I’d be interested in any feedback on how useful this might be for teaching teenage students to gain a little insight into neural networks.
