PopBots: Early AI Education

PopBots: An Early AI Curriculum for Young Children

The PopBots Platform is a tool to introduce young children to programming, robotics, and artificial intelligence by allowing them to build and program their own robots. Children teach and learn from an interactive social robot to explore three AI topics: rule-based expert systems, supervise machine learning, and generative music algorithms.
