Through activities inspired by the well-known <strong>\u201cChinese Room\u201d<\/strong> thought experiment, we reflected on the possibilities and limitations of artificial intelligence, especially the question of whether the ability to provide correct answers necessarily implies genuine understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop was adapted to secondary school students and encouraged them to think critically about the increasingly important role of artificial intelligence in everyday life, education, and future technical professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were especially pleased by the visit of our first-year undergraduate Informatics student, <strong>Luka Bili\u0161kov<\/strong>, who gave an inspiring motivational talk to the students. Luka shared his experience of studying Informatics and explained why he chose this study programme at our Faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop was led by <strong>Dino Neja\u0161mi\u0107<\/strong>, with the support of <strong>Monika Mladenovi\u0107, Petra Crmari\u0107, and Ivana Marin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visit took place in a pleasant and stimulating atmosphere, marked by great interest and active participation from the students. We look forward to future meetings and continued cooperation with the Electrical Engineering School Split in promoting informatics, computational thinking, and artificial intelligence among young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop was held as part of the project <strong>\u201cArtificial Intelligence for Future Technical Education and Industrial Competitiveness\u201d (AITECH), IP-UNIST-48<\/strong>, funded by the European Union \u2013 NextGenerationEU under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan 2021\u20132026. The project focuses on the development and application of advanced AI models for adaptive education, technical learning, and industrial competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
