Nous AI Set

Description

NOUS combines a durable, classroom-ready build with an expandable electronic module system and a metal structure that’s compatible with building-block style construction—ideal for projects, creative prototyping, and robotics learning pathways.  

Learners can program NOUS using a web-based programming platform and connect the hub via USB-C or Bluetooth, then download and run programs on the device.  

Key learning themes (great for curriculum & clubs) 

• AI foundations: machine learning, neural networks, data collection, model training & deployment  

• AI applications: machine vision + speech recognition  

• Programming pathways: graphical (block) programming + Python programming  

• Robotics builds & competitions: modular expansion + project creation 

Why MatataStudio NOUS AI Set? 

• Makes “AI” tangible with hands-on robotics + real-world AI functions (vision/speech/automation).  

• Supports both block-based coding and a transition to Python, enabling progression as students grow.  

• Expandable modular system for deeper projects and advanced builds.  

• Built for classroom and lab settings (primary + secondary use cases).
