The STEM magnet school at Louisville Central High School recently received a new robot named Ryan Ryan.

Ryan has been helping students learn different types of coding and how to operate facial recognition software.

See more as we look at how it all works and our education Matters segment.

This is our first.

Social robot and I'm pretty sure we are the first actual high school here in JCP to have pepper choose a social robot.

I am not really designed to do physical work, being designed for interaction, getting to work with something like this hands on first, like it was, it was great.

I was one of the first students to code her so it's an accomplishment achieve movement that I get to brag about and I'm proud of.

I love these guys.

She loves us.

This is like our child.

It's critical that they know coding.

It's critical that they are able to repair and manipulate these things.

A lot of folks ask me, Is that robot going to take my job?

And you know what?

In some cases it might.

I need my kids to be on the right side of that equation.

I don't need them to be replaced by anything.

I need them to create, to program, to have them out in the field.

I need them to be successful in the new economy.

I was there when Reggie was born, and now I was here to see Pepper Vaughn.

And it's just I just love it so much.

I always brag like, Oh, well, my school has two robots.

I've been praying for this robot to just move on its own and stay there.

I've been praying for her.

Her camera, her like quality is not that good, but she is like, known for facial recognition.

So if I can get that code running and I can get her to learn people's names, learn the faces, and just even move around to interact with people.

I'm even still working with her hands for her.

Like maybe give someone a handshake.

That would be beautiful for me getting her to work on charity.

But we're trying to we ever, ever.

Since we knew that we were going to get her, that's.

One thing that we've been doing is like, how can we connect her to try to make her.

Actually answer and respond.

Ask her questions and respond Without us actually going in there and talking to her, she just automatically just does it.

And so that's one thing that I want to work on.

They teach me a lot of stuff.

I mean, there's really not a lot of instructions to pepper, but we've set down.

We figured things out.

We've done a lot of research on it.

And so it's discovery on both of our hands.

But really, really whenever whenever they make a breakthrough and they can hear him scream and they're happy like that, that's everything.

The epiphany epiphany is everything.

The students are so good at adapting to it.

You know, if you give students the right tools, then they can they can almost pull, they can do almost anything.

How fun and interesting.

Central High School is the only Jefferson County public high school to get a social robot.

The only other school in Kentucky that has a social robot currently is the University of Louisville.
