• Abstract summary: We argue for a novel educational approach that builds upon the accessibility and acceptance of graphical user interfaces to convey programming skills to an applied-science target group. We outline a proof-of-concept, open-source web application, the PHOTON Wizard, which dynamically translates GUI interactions into valid source code for the Python machine learning framework PHOTON.

• Abstract: Despite the tremendous efforts to democratize machine learning, especially in applied-science, the application is still often hampered by the lack of coding skills. As we consider programmatic understanding key to building effective and efficient machine learning solutions, we argue for a novel educational approach that builds upon the accessibility and acceptance of graphical user interfaces to convey programming skills to an applied-science target group. We outline a proof-of-concept, open-source web application, the PHOTON Wizard, which dynamically translates GUI interactions into valid source code for the Python machine learning framework PHOTON. Thereby, users possessing theoretical machine learning knowledge gain key insights into the model development workflow as well as an intuitive understanding of custom implementations. Specifically, the PHOTON Wizard integrates the concept of Educational Machine Learning Code Generators to teach users how to write code for designing, training, optimizing and evaluating custom machine learning pipelines.

  We take a look at didactic principles that are employed for teaching computer science, define criteria, and evaluate a selection of prominent existing platforms, tools, and games. We criticize the approach of portraying Machine Learning mostly as a black-box and the resulting missing focus on creating an understanding of data, algorithms, and models. We present a concept that covers intermodal transfer, computational and explanatory thinking, ICE-T, as an extension of known didactic principles.
