THE once unbelievable worlds depicted in sci-fi movies may be one step closer with high school students now taught how to develop artificial intelligence.

“The partnership has been formed with the notion that STEM literacy is going to be vital for future thinkers,” he said.
The program ended on September 20 and the finished robots were showcased among the school community.
