14-year-old Kerala Boy Teaches US Students AI Online

There is hardly any field that has been left untouched by artificial intelligence (AI). Recently, a 14-year-old is becoming a star by taking an online AI class for students in America. The name of the boy is Raul John Aju. He is a 10th-grade student at Edappally Government School.

According to reports, Raul has been interested in technology since he was 6 years old. He learned about the possibilities of artificial intelligence from the clubhouse. From there, students in the United States started taking classes through a Chicago-based NGO called Insight Roar Kids. He initially designed it as a computer game. Later, he made a robot, which was brought to life with the help of AI.

Apart from this, Aju, who used to study at CBSC initially shifted to Government Vocational Higher Secondary School in Edappally. This little genius believes that the basis of school learning is not what comes directly from textbooks, but that the learning that makes one think more is the real lesson one learns. However, the teachers who knew him and his interests also supported him.

Raul is also a social media influencer. He is the only son of Aju Josephine and Sheba. Both his parents are IT professionals from Amrita Nagar. Raul’s father recently shared in an interview that parents always think of not giving phones to children. They are afraid that they will go into unnecessary and dangerous situations. But he said that the child’s interests should also be considered. If parents tell them what the dangers are and how to deal with them, children will understand. Children should grow up knowing things.

Raul John Aju, the little genius, wants to help people in the world as much as he can and make some changes.

Earlier, a school in Kerala opted for AI to revolutionize the education system and make learning fun and more engaging. Situated in the coastal city of Thiruvananthapuram, the KTCT Higher Secondary School, an educational endeavour of the Kaduvayil Thangal Charitable Trust, unveiled an AI teacher. The institution collaborated with Makerlabs Edutech Private Limited to develop the humanoid named “Iris.” It is also the first-ever AI teacher robot in Kerala.
