Zumi is a tiny buildable self-driving car kit that’s all about making artificial intelligence approachable. Learn about how autonomous cars use sensors and cameras to navigate around the world and learn about the environment using AI. Code her using Blockly or Python. It’s the perfect way to learn not only what AI is, but how it works.
Learn About Artificial Intelligence Topics using Zumi, she’s the car that learns as you learn, here to make AI approachable for everyone. Whether you use an Alexa, own a Tesla, play mobile games, or use Google Maps, artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. Like coding, soon knowing about AI will make you better at your job no matter what kind of work you do. Knowing how to use it will be an integral skill in tomorrow’s workplace. Zumi will help make something that’s normally complicated into something approachable.
With Zumi, you will learn; Basic Robotics, Mapping & Navigation, Machine Vision, Self Driving Car Decision Making, Python, and Machine Learning

Two students stayed after the session to show me what they’d changed. Usually I’m the one reminding everyone to finish up.

We tried it with a small group first. They came up with their own test before I got to the activity I’d prepared.

It took us a little while to get started, but my daughter likes having something she can program and then watch move around the room.

Zumi brought together our students who like building and the ones who like programming. They were excited to show what it could do.
