Classroom AI

Help me give my students AI robots powered by Raspberry Pi 4 and 5.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ayresman's classroom raised $739

My Project

Students have many questions about AI. These supplies such as the starter kit and the AI robot dog kit, will bring AI to life for them by seeing how robotics and single-board computers can work together using the internet to simulate a robotic dog. The plant will also give feedback on care, which demonstrates the human element of computing.

We can use the Raspberry Pi to demonstrate that even small computers can run AI models.

The SD card and power supply work with the robot and Raspberry Pi for programming needs. Once the students program each Raspberry Pi, then the robot can be constructed. The other Raspberry Pi can showcase direct AI responses using Python programming.
