So overwhelmed 💛🤖 by "Build a Brain" finale!

In just 12 weeks, students went from using technology to building intelligent systems from scratch.
Things broke. They kept going. That’s resilience.

You click an arrow and ...your robot moves! 😀!
But what is happening?
We've updated our curriculum to make it even easier to understand how the Internet, JavaScript, & IPs.. work together, so you can build your app!

Wait… what’s a network socket? 🤔

You use one every time you message, stream, or shop online.

✨Eyes ON! 👀 We just gave the NB3 Box robot its first personality upgrade.

We engineered the LED "emotions" proving that even complex machine feelings are just state-machine logic.

Don’t tell kids “Let’s learn robotics” Tell them “Let’s play"

Here’s Albi, 10-year-old, testing a new-built robot. Yes, he had tons of question & fun!

Before you code a robot -> train a human!

These 2 weeks we taught Reinforcement Learning, RL, from secondary schools (London AI Campus) to neuroscience PhDs (sainsburywellcome.bsky.social)

When students feel RL on themselves, they code better.
