Knowsley Safari welcomed students from Lord Derby Academy, Huyton, and Halewood Academy who learned how pioneering Artificial Intelligence (AI) can protect wildlife globally.
The Eco-Coders programme was created to give young people a taste of the technical discipline of AI, to consider it as a career option and to highlight its importance in wildlife conservation. The programme is in partnership with National Schools’ Observatory (NSO) at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) and is backed by the UKRI Science and Technology Facilities Council.
Five sessions are delivered at the school and one at Knowsley Safari. Participating students were able to demonstrate their understanding of AI for wildlife monitoring via a "dodge the AI" game and took photographs of animals in their habitats.
