Our Impact
NoRILLA at Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose
We have a partnership and long term exhibit at the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose (CDM). CDM is a cultural institution serving children, families, and schools in the Silicon Valley/San Francisco Bay Area. Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose has been ranked by Child magazine as one of the top 10 children's museums in the United States and ranked by the London Observer as one of the top 5 science centers in the world.
NoRILLA at CaixaForum, Spain
We are excited to be chosen among 6 AI-focused projects around the world to have a long term exhibit at CaixaForum - an AI focused museum in Valencia, Spain. CaixaForum attracts millions of visitors of all ages from around the world with its futuristic, unique design and exhibits. NoRILLA is featured as part of the #LaNube{IA} experience (with a spaceship design), which looks at the educational potential of AI and identifies its use for students, teachers, families, institutions, researchers and businesses.
NoRILLA At IKEA
We had a pilot at a major retailer's eating spaces, where children and parents interacted with NoRILLA as they were shopping and eating. We had a very good response. Our survey results with parents showed that 97% of parents would choose this retailer over a similar store if there was an educational system like NoRILLA in the store. 92% said that NoRILLA would affect their perception of the store in a positive way, while 94% said they would tell others to bring their children to this store to interact with NoRILLA.
NoRILLA at Atlanta Children’s Museum
We have a partnership and long term exhibit at the Children's Museum of Atlanta. CMA serves around 225,000 guests annually. Increasing service to underserved communities is one of CMA's strongest and most significant impacts. It's exciting to see such diverse children and families interact with our exhibit daily. You can see a blog post about the exhibit here.
NoRILLA at Carnegie Science Center
We have a long term exhibit at the Carnegie Science Center (CSC) in Pittsburgh, where we have also been conducting research through our NSF AISL (Advancing Informal STEM Learning) partnership. Our research has shown that adding an AI layer on top of hands-on exhibits can improve children's STEM learning in museums and informal learning spaces while also keeping kids engaged for longer (4x more time spent at the exhibit compared to a traditional museum exhibit without AI). You can see a research paper and press release about it here. CSC serves more than 700,000 people annually – 500,000 visitors including 80,000 in school groups, and 200,000 through camps, classes, and off-site education programs.
NoRILLA at Montour School District
NoRILLA is currently being used in many school districts. Montour School District was the first district that acquired the NoRILLA system for their school through Sprout's EdTech Refinery grant. It is being used in the school by thousands of children (since 2016). You can see a video of kids interacting with NoRILLA at the school district.
NoRILLA at Children's Museum of Pittsburgh
We have a partnership with Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, where we have been iteratively testing our product with many children and parents. It has been amazing to see the positive feedback and comments from children and families, which you can see in this video.
NoRILLA at COTRAIC Head Start
“That was our biggest downfall [at COTRAIC Head Start] - not doing enough problem solving. NoRILLA improved problem solving skills for children. I found myself asking more open-ended questions to the kids (even in other classes), rather than giving away answers myself. What do you think will happen if we do this? Why do you think so? Children started getting a better understanding of why we do things and making sense of what they are doing...”
- Dolores, teacher at COTRAIC Head Start
