Why AI?

AI might seem complex, but it's fundamentally about managing and processing data in innovative ways to solve problems, making it an essential skill in today's tech-driven world.

Why Formula-Edge?

Edge computing allows for data processing near its source, which lowers the barriers to entry for learning and applying AI technology, making it more accessible for educational purposes. Why Self-Driving Cars? The concept of autonomous vehicles is not only a hot topic in research and development but also an excellent educational tool due to the availability of open-source software, affordable single board computers, and machine learning tools.
