WHAT IT IS ABOUT
How to care for trees in the city?
In this activity, the girls help Arboris, a social robot, to solve new challenges to learn how to plant and care for native trees. Through experiments, observation and data recording, they discover what conditions a plant needs to grow well and how that information helps to train an artificial intelligence. Then, they transform that data into clear instructions so that Arboris can make correct decisions.
- Solve challenges with Arboris.
- Observe how plants grow.
- Record important data.
- Analyze water, light and soil.
- Create instructions for the robot.
- What artificial intelligence is.
- How an AI is trained with data.
- The importance of observing and recording.
- What trees need to grow.
- How to give clear and orderly instructions.
