Pupils Praise Professor
Paul Curzon, Professor of Computer Science in the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, at Queen Mary, University of London, visited Chingford C of E Junior School on Monday 10th June to give a talk to Year 6 pupils about Artificial Intelligence.
Prof. Curzon presented a 2 hour workshop to the children which covered indepth topics such as what is intelligence and can machines think or is intelligence something only humans have? The children also had fun playing with computerised toys including a voice sensitive parrot and a robot vacuum cleaner.
Enthused pupil, George, described the lesson as, 'Really fascinating - I really enjoyed the part of the talk that covered optical illusions and how the brain can be easily tricked."
Deputy Headteacher commented, 'Professor Curzon has been a regular visitor to the school over the past few years. His talks are always well received and thought provoking.'
