Meritus AI Learning Experiences is excited to announce our research paper titled “AI Snap! blocks for speech input & output, computer vision, word embeddings, neural net creation, training and use” has been accepted for presentation at 12th AAAI Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence (EAAI-22) to be held February 26-27, 2022. This paper is the collaborative work of Mr. Ramana Prasad and Mr. Naveen N from Meritus AI under the guidance of Dr. Ken Kahn, Professor, Oxford University (UK). This paper explains various projects on how special AI blocks that have been integrated into the Snap! programming platform will enable students as young as 6 years old to learn and experience various AI functionalities such as speech synthesis, speech recognition, cloud based computer vision, neural networks, etc. to name a few.

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) is an international scientific society devoted to promoting research in, and responsible use of, artificial intelligence. AAAI also aims to increase public understanding of artificial intelligence (AI), improve the teaching and training of AI practitioners, and provide guidance for research planners and funders concerning the importance and potential of current AI developments and future directions

The AAAI conference is held annually to promote research in artificial intelligence (AI) and scientific exchange among AI researchers, practitioners, scientists, and engineers in affiliated disciplines. The AAAI-21 will have a diverse technical track, student abstracts, poster sessions, invited speakers, tutorials, workshops, and exhibit and competition programs, all selected according to the highest reviewing standards.

Since its inception, Meritus AI has been curating and providing transformational learning experiences in AI and Coding via a hybrid learning method combining the resources from AI World School, a self learning platform and AI School of India, a tutor led learning platform.

Meritus AI is made up of a dedicated team of engineers and educators who have developed the AI learning content, activities and curriculum. This team has undergone training and certification by ISTE, USA, Intel, and IBM. The curriculum development is also guided by an international advisory board consisting of experts in the fields of computer science and educational technology such as from Oxford University in the United Kingdom, and Graz University of Technology in Austria. The curriculum is also being constantly reviewed by qualified educational experts.

Meritus AI also works together with researchers, institutions, and companies to commit to its mission of providing both educators, parents and students with the most up-to-date and age-appropriate curriculum and resources that have been curated, developed and designed to meet global educational standards.
