This is interesting. The focus in China on emergent technologies is very high especially in education.
Locally, when we talk to teachers, administrators, they are scared of the technology and see it as a job replacement.
We at Code Explorers are starting a new program with AI 3D Avatars to teach empathy and sustainability for kids ages 8 - 11 yrs olds. We developed the curriculum and educational aids as well as the projects the kids will work on. We exhibited the project at the United Nations in Sep 2019. The project was developed for children in Miami and has a South Florida theme.
We had our first parent engagement to discuss the project on Oct 28 to solicit registrations for children to attend. Parents were amazed we can do this with AI.
