About this listen

 Many Indigenous languages are at risk of disappearing. 24-year-old inventor Danielle Boyer is on a mission to change that. She designed SkoBot, an interactive robot that teaches children her own native language, Anishinaabemowin. Danielle shares how she developed SkoBot, the ethical questions that came up along the way, and how she involved her own community in the process. You can read more about Danielle’s organization, The STEAM Connection, here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
