Webinar: AI in STEM Education – New teaching resources for younger students

With our upcoming “AI in STEM Education” teaching resources, Science on Stage wants to support you in addressing and teaching the topic of artificial intelligence in class.

Learning about AI as early as in primary school can help students to better understand this technology and engage with its applications in a safe and guided environment. In line with our motto “from teachers for teachers”, our authors have compiled a wealth of ideas and digital resources for you to try out in your classroom.

Join us for a presentation of First Steps in AI and Data Analysis and EcoKids Teach AI. Learn about how you can introduce your students aged 8 to 12 to the topics of Big Data and generative AI in an interactive, fun and age-appropriate way, and find out how activities involving roleplay, an educational robot and a simple block-based programming task can get your students excited about recycling and protecting the environment.

Please take note of your time zone: the webinar will take place at 19:00-20:00 CEST.
