Class Act: Irving sixth grader designs robot that could aid school safety

#artificialintelligence

You're never too young to start making a huge impact. That's what makes Jaime Cuevas our Class Act of the Week. Jaime is just in the sixth grade at Lamar Middle School, but he's already inventing some big things! "I designed this robot to monitor halls, do deliveries for teachers, and to help during school shootings," Jaime said. That's right, this kid might be revolutionizing school safety, one of the most important topics in the country right now. "If there was ever to happen a school shooting, if there's a kid in the exit and it's not safe to go out there, but once it's clear and I know where the robot's going because it's following him I can safely lead the kids to the exit," he explained.
