AI in schools
School offers the opportunity to spark children’s and young people’s interest in technology at an early stage and to strengthen their competences in confidently handling AI and data applications. Our online courses are aimed at student teachers and teachers who wish to expand their competences in dealing with artificial intelligence and data.
The AI Campus supports you with didactic handouts, teaching ideas, and practical materials. Learn how to address AI in the classroom using concrete examples, how AI-based tools can be implemented in everyday school life, and what impact they have on educational processes.
