From Screen to Robot: Students Build AI Smart Sorter
[6th Mar, 2026] — Green AI recently conducted a one-day STEM workshop titled “Sustainability in Education – AI in Waste Sorting” for secondary students from Chinese International School.
During the workshop, students took on a full-stack challenge to develop an AI-powered “Smart Sorter.” The system combined computer vision to identify different types of waste with an industrial robotic arm to pick and sort materials.
Participants gained hands-on experience across the entire development process, including dataset collection, model training, system calibration, managing latency, and end-to-end integration. The programme highlighted the practical steps required to move from a functioning digital model to a reliable physical system operating in real-world conditions.
The workshop was delivered in collaboration with WISIO Tech and supported by the teaching team at Chinese International School, reflecting a shared commitment to advancing innovative STEM education focused on sustainability and practical technology applications.
