AI In Schools: Are We Future Ready?

AI simply ain't a buzzword anymore. It’s a skill now every student should master. But how do we teach AI in a way that feels real, exciting, and hands-on? The answer, through projects. In an environment that allows students to build, create, and experiment.

Now, at Blix, we aim to make AI education practical. We have invested our time in building AI-powered robotics kits and software projects. We have worked on interactive machine learning models.

So, instead of just reading about AI, students train models. They develop AI apps. And even build gesture controlled robots. Wondering how? Let's check out some amazing AI projects for schools we have as a part of our robotics education for children!

1. Training AI Models

Before students start building, they need to understand how AI "thinks." With Blix, we allow them to:

• Train on AI models so that they can recognize images and objects
• They can use AI to classify data and make predictions
• They can experiment with voice. Also image and gesture-based recognition.

For example, when students work on the Specs vs. No Specs project, they train an AI to identify people wearing glasses. This whole process is completely not theory at all. It instead is a real-world application of AI-powered image recognition.

2. AI-Powered Software Projects

We actually don't want students to simply consume AI. We want them to create a few. And here are some software based AI projects we have for them:

• We have worked on the COVID battle game. Students here develop a voice-controlled game where they fight viruses by giving AI-powered commands. With this project, they actually learn sound recognition, motion coordination, and how to interact through AI.
• Next is an AI-based phone security app. Students here create AI-powered face lock systems for mobile security. Over here, they explore webcam-based image identification and AI authentication models.
• There's even a mood based AI playlist covering AI and robotics concepts. Learners here learn to create mood-based playlists by picking the most suitable type of recognition.

3. AI + Robotics

We have something more amazing as a part of robotics kits for schools in India. We have integrated robotics and automation, and here's what students get to build:

• Voice controlled car. Students over here train an AI model to recognize voice commands and control a robotic car. They explore sound recognition. And also machine learning, along with AI-based automation.
• Next is gesture-controlled robotic arm. A robotic arm actually responds to different hand gestures. With this specific robotics kit for school, students learn gesture recognition, motion-based AI programming, and robotics control.
• We also have a face-controlled toll booth robotics kit for schools. This one is actually an AI-driven toll project that only opens when it detects a car. Students here work on webcam based image detection and automated access control.

Now, why should schools invest in AI?

A strong AI curriculum will actually help students with career readiness. And AI is actually best understood through real world projects, not just theory. At Blix, we help to set up STEM labs in schools. We offer a learning management system, and a teacher training program that allows teachers to first understand AI and robotics concepts, the best possible way.

AI education shouldn’t be about memorizing terms. It should be about building real AI systems. Also, training models, and creating smart robots. Blix makes that possible. So, are you ready to bring AI to your school?
