Empowering Secondary School STEM Education with AI Training and Resources for Students and Educators

"<< Objectives >>FUTURE-STEM-HUB project aims to advance and facilitate the integration of AI topics into STEM education at secondary schools by:-Providing educational materials introducing AI concepts and their societal implications-Offering practical learning resources for students to explore AI using Python programming-Equipping teachers with support for integrating AI into secondary school STEM training-Disseminating project results to promote AI integration in school curricula and societal transition.<< Implementation >>The FUTURE-STEM-HUB project includes developing interactive educational materials for secondary school students on AI fundamentals, alongside practical resources and tutorials in Python or Scratch for hands-on learning. Teachers will receive lesson plans to integrate AI topics into school curricula. Through validation workshops, coding challenges, transnational and national teacher training, students & teachers will assess these resources while improving their Computer Science & coding skills.<< Results >>Key results:-2 e-courses Artificial Intelligence Essentials & Delving Deeper in AI with Python & Scratch (educational materials & hands-on exercises)-E-Toolkit for School Educators: Enhancing AI Skills -min.100 in engagement workshops & coding challenges with students & teachers to pilot the resources-min.35 in Transnational & national teacher training on embedding AI topics into curricula-min.170 in Student Contests “AI Future Explorers” & Final Conference ""Exploring the AI-Driven Future""."
