Vision and Face Recognition
Your child teaches a robot to see. It learns to recognize family members, respond to hand gestures, and identify objects.
This module is about teaching a robot to see. Your child connects a camera and builds programs that recognize faces, understand gestures, identify objects, and follow visual targets.
They start with fundamentals: how does a camera turn light into data? Then they build systems that act on what the robot sees. The robot learns to sort objects by colour. It recognizes each family member by face and greets them differently. It responds to hand gestures with no keyboard, no voice, and no remote.
The deepest part is training a custom vision model. Your child collects their own image data, labels it, trains a recognition system, and deploys it on the robot. This is the same pipeline used in professional computer vision, made accessible and tangible.
This module is launching soon. Contact us to be notified when it becomes available.

What your child shows you at the end
The Robot That Knows Your Face
The robot learns to recognize each family member. When Mom walks up, it says "Hi Mom!" and plays her favourite song. When your child approaches, it does a happy dance. When a stranger appears, it backs away and flashes a warning.
What you see: A robot that recognizes your face and greets you by name.
What your child feels: "I taught a robot to see. I trained an AI."
Gesture Wizard
Your child controls the robot entirely with hand gestures. No remote, no keyboard, no voice. Open palm means stop. Fist means go. Point left means turn. Wave means dance. Parents film this one every time.
What your child will experience
Teach a robot to see
Your child connects a camera module and writes the first program that detects and follows a coloured object.
Colour recognition and sorting
The robot learns to distinguish colours and drives to different zones to sort objects. Same concept behind how self-driving cars see traffic lights.
Face detection and recognition
The robot learns to recognize each family member. Mom walks up and it says "Hi Mom!" and plays her favourite song.
Gesture control
Open palm means stop. Fist means go. Point left means turn. Your child controls the robot entirely with hand gestures.
Train a custom vision model
Your child collects image data, labels it, trains a recognition model, and deploys it on the robot.
Present the security guard
The final project is a robot that patrols, recognizes authorized people, and sounds an alarm for strangers.
This module is shaped by your child
We do not teach from a fixed script. During early sessions, we observe what excites your child most, then guide them to set a personal goal for this module. The content and pace are tailored to match their curiosity, so every session feels like it was made for them.
