Meet the Robots Programmed by Kids to Speak Indigenous Languages A 12 year old from Michigan named Kadin Mills has been working with his mentor, Danielle Boyer, to program robots that can speak Anishinaabemowin, a Native American language considered endangered.
This project is part of a growing trend of using technology to preserve languages at risk of disappearing.
While similar initiatives have been undertaken elsewhere, what sets this effort apart is Mills' direct connection to the language and community.
