Viyoohan AI Wildlife App is an inspiring example of how children can use technology to address real-world problems.Viyoohan Sayooran, an eight-year-old from Markham, Ontario, Canada, started developing Urban Wild Watch after noticing increasing reports of coyotes and bears in his neighbourhood and wondering how technology could help people and wildlife coexist safely.” At just eight years old, Viyoohan developed an app after noticing increasing wildlife sightings, including coyotes and bears, in his neighbourhood. Instead of simply being concerned about the issue, Viyoohan explored how artificial intelligence could help people respond more safely while protecting wildlife. His project demonstrates how curiosity can lead to practical innovation when children are encouraged to experiment with technology. The story also highlights the importance of introducing children to responsible AI use at an early age. Technology education can encourage students to identify problems, research solutions and create useful applications. Viyoohan’s achievement shows that innovation is not limited by age. With guidance, curiosity and access to technology, young learners can develop ideas that address challenges in their communities. His project offers an important lesson for parents and educators: encouraging children to solve real-world problems can make technology learning more meaningful.
