You allow different approaches as long as students achieve the Big Idea or answer the Essential Question. You aren’t the only one to come up with these varied approaches–students know what works best for their learning and present it to you as an option. Differentiation is the norm. After that, it seems natural.

AEROSPACE ENGINEERING – generally involves the design and construction of aeroplanes, jets, gliders, autogyros, helicopters and more, but the skills needed to do this can be applied to other areas. CIVIL ENGINEERING – the design and construction of infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, buildings, railways and utility networks.

It turns out that it’s possible to construct such a function. Later, we’ll talk about how such a function can be constructed, and the idea of neural nets. And the nontrivial scientific fact is that for an image-recognition task like this we now basically know how to construct functions that do this.

Given a defined “goal”, an AI can automatically work towards achieving it. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want. And that’s where we humans come in.

At the time, there was some fiddliness to these functions, and to making their output look good—though in later years what we learned from this was used to tune up the general look of built-in graphics in the Wolfram Language. But there’s a standard way to achieve the appearance of gray, by changing the local density of black and white.
