North Cork students study Artificial Intelligence with cutting-edge programme

A brand-new pilot programme about machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) will be expanding in the coming academic year in secondary schools - it's free to participate and will be available online. The programme was rolled out to schools all across the country, and reached over 8,000 students - including 25 transition year students in Boherbue Comprehensive School in North Cork. It allowed students to experience the world of self-driving cars, manufacturing robots and learn about jobs of the future. This new expansion will allow new students in the upcoming academic year to participate, for free, and experience the cutting-edge world of technology. The AI module was developed by Joyce Mahon, a PhD student at UCD - with the support of Huawei Ireland - and wanted to roll out the programme over the online learning platform CSLINC for the next school year.
