Brief History¶
The AI Racing League was founded in the summary of 2019. We were inspired by the viral global DonkeyCar project. We wondered if the DonkeyCar racing events could be used to teach AI in the classroom. The goals of the founders were to promote fun events that taught AI to girls and disavantaged youth. We recieved an initial round of $9K in funding from the Optum Technology Social Responsibility and lauched our first event in August of 2019. This event was done at the International School of Minnesota and attracted members from the AI Research community, schools, educators and students.
Since August we have participated in over a dozen events promoting AI instruction. We have trained and initial set of approximatly 50 mentors that are familair with the use of the DonkeyCar
