Defend the Rhino with Maths and AI

YouTube Live 26th Sep 11.00am-11.50am Free

Join our exciting YouTube livestreamed interactive lesson for school pupils.

Take part in this interactive maths activity and learn about collecting data, spotting patterns, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

Your class will join our data science team as we help stop a gang of rhino poachers.

Learners will use maths, numeracy, and data science skills to analyse CCTV data from across a South African national park. Then, create their own machine learning model that recognises images of poachers, and work together to catch them before it’s too late.

This is based on a real life case study where conservationists and technologists in South Africa are using artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to help save endangered wildlife.

Important Info:

  • Free but booking required
  • Target age: P5 to P7
  • No additional software is required, laptops, Chromebooks, and iPads will work.
