As part of our mission to engage all communities around the University, provide opportunities for learning and discovery and advance the capability of our NAO robot we engaged our own UWA Computer Science School to work with Ruby over the summer period.

Our four computer science students have worked hard to enable some of Ruby’s more advanced functionality, culminating these individual tasks the students were challenged to write and conduct a program for Ruby to host a Futures Observatory tour, engage with the audience (by answering questions) and narrate the tour between different exhibits within the Futures Observatory.

In 30 minutes hear about how different technologies are being used for teaching and learning, how the Centre for Education Futures is supporting innovative projects and engage with our exhibits during the tour itself.
