high school and middle school Artificial Intelligence and Mobile Robotics

Artificial Intelligence is all around us. Self-driving cars, autonomous delivery drones, AI autopilots in planes, Facebook, Amazon Alexa, and chatbots are all examples of artificially intelligent technologies that are already impacting our lives today. The World Economic Forum reports 58 million new jobs in Artificial Intelligence by 2022. Robotics is projected to continue to grow at a rate of 25% over the next five years. Are your students ready?

Robots and smart systems are growing in their abilities to do more and help more. Soon we’ll see robots that will not only be able to drive us around town but will be able to care for elderly and disabled.

If we think of AI as the smarts to be able to make the right choices to do the work we need, then robotics is the brawn needed to make the work happen. Robotics also brings the ability to sense, feel and touch the world around us. Bringing AI together with Robotics is how we will fulfill the promises of the intelligent system that will be able to make our lives better and safer.

Besides the creation of useful, intelligent systems, studying Artificial Intelligence teaches a new level of understanding of systems, coding, biology, and behavior. In the course, students use robots as their playground to practice coding and modeling the smart systems that are becoming part of our world.

In this course, students will examine how nature has produced some very successful creatures. They’ll break down and determine what behaviors make specific animals and insects so successful. Then will use their knowledge to help code the next generation of intelligent robots. This course requires no previous experience in coding or robotics for either the teacher or student.

This course is the perfect introduction to Coding, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and the Engineering Process.
