This artificial intelligence, named Ash, allows young environmental advocates to discover the biodiversity around them. Designed as an interactive tool, Ash nudges its users to explore nature without distraction, turning each adventure into an educational experience. Through a point-and-click digital camera, children are encouraged to photograph the life forms they encounter. The shots are instantly converted into animal cards filled with information, from domestic animals to rare insects. Collecting these cards thus becomes an exciting quest for knowledge. Each animal card features a unique user interface, and collectible badges reward the curiosity of young explorers. Additionally, a parent-focused experience ensures full control over the data collected, keeping them informed and involved. Developed by FINH using open technologies, such as SLS 3D printers and a Google Coral board running with the iNaturalist database for species recognition, Ash offers a real opportunity to teach and protect biological diversity while having fun.
