Nous AI Set

The Nous AI Set is an advanced STEM robotics and artificial intelligence learning kit designed to empower students through hands-on experimentation with cutting-edge technology. With support for both block-based coding (Scratch) and text-based programming (Python), this all-in-one kit allows learners to explore real-world AI applications such as speech recognition, facial recognition, and intelligent control systems. The modular design promotes creativity and problem-solving, making it a perfect tool for project-based learning in classrooms focused on digital technologies, robotics, and innovation.

Why this product is helpful

• Hands-on experience with AI and IoT concepts, making abstract computing topics tangible and engaging.
• Dual coding environment: Allows beginners to start with visual programming, then transition to Python as their skills grow.
• Real-world relevance: Mirrors the kind of AI-powered automation used in homes, vehicles, and smart cities.
• Cross-curricular learning: Supports outcomes in digital technologies, science, maths, and design thinking.
• Inclusive teaching: Scaffolding resources make it easy to differentiate by ability and extend high-performing students.

Classroom Ideas & Activities

• Voice-Activated Robot: Program the robot to respond to spoken commands using the speech recognition module.
• Facial Recognition Access System: Students build a system that identifies users before granting œaccess ” an engaging hook into cybersecurity and ethics.
• Smart Light Automation: Use sensors to detect ambient light and automatically turn on LEDs, introducing energy efficiency concepts.
• Data Logging & Analysis: Collect and graph environmental data from sensors (e.g. light, temperature) to analyse changes over time.
• STEM Challenges: Task students with designing their own AI-based invention, then present and pitch it to the class as a startup idea.
