At the Good Shepherd Primary School near Adelaide, students engage with a robot and learn how to program it to perform functions. They will need coding to compete for jobs in the future. View Video.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer science and engineering devoted to the creation of intelligent machines and the software to run them. This process is “artificial” because once it is programmed into the machine, it occurs without human intervention....Read More.
