Book 8: Finding Treasure in the Trash

At Nari’s school, SorterBot-X was in charge of clean-up. It scanned every item, from paper to toys, and decided what to trash, recycle or keep. But one day, it almost threw away something precious. That’s when Nari spoke up and the robot listened. Together, they organised a new system and the robot learnt to pause and ask before sorting. Because sometimes, what something is isn’t as important as what it could be.

A thoughtful story about helping machines to see meaning, and kids to think beyond the bin and outside the box.
