Translating AI Research Into Teaching Practice

   Technische Universität München Arcisstr. 21 80333 München Raum 4905

These kits aim to enable educators to foster AI literacy and meaningfully integrate artificial intelligence into classroom teaching -not by introducing new tools, but through the strategic embedding of current AI concepts into existing curricula.

Each group will work on a specific research area that can be particularly well connected to school subjects -such as AI in biology, medicine, physics, ethics, social sciences, or in computer science and engineering.
