STOP Cyberbullying: Prevention and Intervention Practices for Educators
Course Description
Just as technology can bring us together, it can also separate us, or even used to create harm to another person. Cyberbullying has taken school-day bullying to the next level, make it harder for the victim to escape and also harder for educators/ parents to detect it and take action.
Like any form of abuse, bullying can leave deep scars on the victims that may never properly heal and shape their lives.

Topics Include
- Forms and Challenges of Cyberbullying
- The impact of cyberbullying on students – look for the signs
- How to prevent and intervene to cyberbullying.
- How to teach cyberbullying and the importance of media literacy.
- Exchanging good practices in tackling cyberbullying, and promoting a positive learning environment.
Aims in relation to the development of your organisation
- Teachers/ educators are expected to acquire new skills and competences with regards to dealing with cyberbullying.

Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence: The upcoming technology that will ‘conquer’ the world!
Course Description
As humans, we all possess an organ inside our head that is ubiquitous and utterly essential to the way we fulfil our daily tasks. However, we do not hold in-depth knowledge of how it processes the information that goes through each layer of neurons. Throughout the interactions we have in our lives in the continually changing environments, we develop our richest memories. Our brain is processing life experiences which have a substantial effect on the establishment of our personality, and the way information is translated into perception. The structure of the human brain and how we learn, emerged the concept of Artificial Intelligence, a relatively new field of computer science, as it has developed over the last 50 years.
Artificial Intelligence is a well-known concept nowadays. Many scientists tried to define AI and state what it tries to accomplish. However, it is difficult for someone to deliver the correct definition of something that changes systematically in a rapid manner. Nature endowed man with five basic senses that enabled him to perceive the environment and interact with it. Those five basic senses along with other human abilities are what AI is trying to mimic of doing using machines. Learn more about this automation of activities, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and how they are associated with everyday problems.
Throughout this course, you will gain an overview of the main concepts of Artificial Intelligence in theory as well as creating your first AI model. We’re in a digital economy where the importance of data is greater than ever. Data is the 21st-century new oil: a precious commodity that is largely underdeveloped. There will be huge rewards for those who see the essential importance of data and learn to extract and use it and a setback for those who don’t.
Topics Include
- Introduction to AI
- Artificial Intelligence Vs Machine Learning
- Applications of AI
- Create your first AI model
- Discussion of how AI will change the world in the future
Aims in relation to the development of your organisation
- Acquire sufficient knowledge of upcoming technologies.
- Get in touch with concepts of industry 4.0 as we are about to enter this new fourth industrial revolution.
- Learning the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence will help individuals with their decision making about their career.
- Understating how AI works companies will be more aware of the valuable data they need to store for their future needs.

3D Design camp: Calling all future designers and engineers!
Course Description
This course offers an introduction to 3D Design and 3D printing and will help students and educators prepare for future breakthroughs in the Art of Design.
How can 3D design prepare students for the real world? 3D modelling has changed the way we design for the better. Not only does 3D modelling help the designers and end-users visualize space requirements, but also improves drawing efficiency and accuracy. It also enables designers/engineers to “play around” with different ideas and identify potential design problems before they become actual issues.
In this course, you will learn about the future of 3D printing and manufacturing, the process of creating a digital model and then sending that file to be manufactured as a physical, three-dimensional object. In terms of their capabilities, 3D printers are able to create amazing projects such as prototyping new designs, replacing parts for machines or automobiles, building toys and trinkets, creating prosthetic limbs and organs, manufacturing housing and many more!
Topics Include
- Introduction to 3D design & 3D printing
- Creating 3D designs with Tinkercad
- Creating 3D designs with Fusion 360
- File preparation for 3D printing
- 3D Printing
- Slicing Software and Gcode
Aims in relation to the development of your organisation
- The School will gain expert teachers in the fields of 3D Design and 3D printing. Tinkercad is a great tool for beginners and Fusion 360 is ideal for more advanced classes/students.
- The School will Incorporate new methods of teaching 3D Design digitally.
