Robot lessons in Delmenhorst: Future of the school has started!

In an extraordinary school attempt in Delmenhorst, the humanoid robot "Captcha" supported students in class for the first time. With his advanced artificial intelligence, he is able to not only give prefabricated answers, but also to respond to questions and statements from the students. The robot, developed by the start-up Hidoba Research, made his debut at the Willmsgymnasium and gave the students exciting content about artificial intelligence. The teacher Klaas Wiggers brought the robot to the auditorium, where the high school students were able to actively participate in discussions, which is considered a world premiere, how ndr.de reported. "Captcha" speaks obvious American English and challenged the students with his questions, which also dealt with the ethical aspects of AI.

The efforts to integrate AI into schools go beyond the use of robots. As part of the "AI4Schools" project of the Fraunhofer Alliance for Big Data and artificial intelligence, students and teachers learn the technical foundations of AI and further develop their programming skills. The project has already been carried out several times at the Willms-Gymnasium, as reported to bigdata-ai-ai-ai-ai. The aim is to sensitize pupils to the challenges and opportunities in dealing with intelligent systems and to show them professional perspectives in the AI ​​field. From 2023 a cross -federal state stabilization of the project is planned, which gives the influence of technologies such as "captcha" further weight in school lessons.
