LearnML Webinar - AI in School Education

Описание: The “Learn to Machine Learn” project (LearnML - http://learnml.eu/) is a three-year Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership in the field of Education, which aims to produce innovative solutions for the teaching and learning of crucial skills related to digital literacy, computational thinking, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), so that Europe’s children and teenagers can develop into responsible citizens and insightful thinkers able to navigate the complex digital space and effectively contribute to its design.

To address these challenges, the LearnML project transfers the notion of AI literacy to primary and secondary education and aims to introduce students to the core principles of AI and ML through a uniquely designed game-based educational toolbox. The core objectives of the project are to design an AI and ML framework within the primary and secondary educational context, implement an innovative game-based learning toolbox that realises ML training scenarios (games and game authoring tools), produce relevant and effective training, teaching and learning material for course development based on gameful ML activities, educate teachers to effectively engage students and promote creative reflection on AI ethics, data biases and societal implications, and widely involve students in ML training courses that include playful game-based learning activities so that they become AI literate but most importantly responsible citizens of Europe with regards to the ethics and threats of AI.

During the webinar, LearnML researchers and educators presented their work and offered insight on how to use specific games in class.
