AI in STEM Education - Understanding, applying, coding

Are you ready to bring artificial intelligence into your classroom? As AI continues to transform our world, incorporating it into STEM education has never been more crucial. This is exactly what Science on Stage wants to support with its project "AI in STEM Education" by offering open educational resources on the topic and an international challenge for teachers and their students.

Description

In recent years, technological developments in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have accelerated significantly, with far-reaching consequences for our society, the economy, and the education system. Therefore, addressing this topic in STEM education is important, allowing students to understand the technology better, engage with its applications, and explore the use of AI.

For the project “AI in STEM Education”, teachers from Portugal, Türkiye, Germany and the United Kingdom have compiled a wealth of ideas and resources, presenting their innovative concepts as digital teaching and learning material. The five teaching units offer tools, methods as well as project and cooperation ideas for integrating the complex topic of AI and machine learning into the classroom. They are suited for teachers with and without previous experience in the subject and provide activities and resources for all school types, from primary to secondary education.

The material is freely available on the website of Science on Stage Europe and can be translated into other languages with the help of most modern web browsers: https://www.science-on-stage.eu/ai-stem-education

Along with the publication of the materials, Science on Stage has launched a Europe-wide competition for students and teachers from all types of schools: The AI in STEM Challenge. It invites students and teachers to get creative and develop their own projects involving AI. The call for applications is open until 23 February 2025. The teams with the ten best ideas will be invited to Berlin, Germany, for the final in June 2025: https://www.science-on-stage.eu/ai-stem-challenge

The project and the challenge were initiated by Science on Stage Germany and are supported by the other members of Science on Stage Europe.
