On February 6, 2024, the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra hosted the third multiplication event, a key part of the IT in Nitra 2024 under the theme How to Teach Artificial Intelligence. This event brought together university employees, secondary school teachers, and students to explore innovative approaches to integrating artificial intelligence into education.
Participants were introduced to the education model, the finalized platform design, and highlights from individual courses. The most engaging aspects of each course were showcased, and attendees actively participated in solving selected projects, making the experience both interactive and inspiring.
As AI continues to gain prominence, it is gradually being incorporated into school curricula. However, understanding its core principles can be challenging for many students. This event emphasized the importance of teaching basic AI concepts in a way that demystifies tabloid myths and alleviates fears of a dystopian AI-driven future. Attendees explored how to present AI as an application of known mathematical and computer science principles, making it more accessible and less intimidating for learners.
The workshop ChatGPT and Its Clones featured discussions on ChatGPT, a cutting-edge Large Language Model developed by OpenAI. Participants delved into its capabilities, such as generating text, translating languages, and creating various types of content. Alongside its potential benefits, the discussions highlighted the risks of uncritical reliance on AI-generated content and the need for a critical approach to evaluating its outputs.
Last workshop Try it with Priscilla in 2024 was introduced new updates, including interactive Python courses which allow students to run and modify code directly within the learning material, offering immediate feedback and results and enhanced learning experience by encouraging experimentation, with AI code in real time, making it easier also for teachers to explain complex principles.
