Introducing the 5 Big Ideas in Artificial Intelligence using Internet of Things in STEM education

Short Description

The AI4STEM project will utilize the Five Big Ideas in AI concept and a series of IoT projects to develop an educational framework on which students (8-16 years old) will be introduced to artificial intelligence through hands-on lessons, blending the Internet of Things principles, programming and STEM learning outcomes.

By using the project results, educators will be able to arouse their students’ interest and increase their awareness of how AI can positively affect their daily lives. Students, with the help of their teachers, will develop a series of IoT projects, such as a smart agriculture system, a weather reporting system, a home automation system, a smart garage door, etc. through which the Five Big Ideas in AI will be explained, namely Perception, Representation & Reasoning, Learning, Natural Interaction, and Societal Impact in order to understand what AI is, how it can simplify processes, what impact AI can have in daily interactions and which implications and challenges society needs to overcome.
