Members of the AI Research Group and the Education Research Group from the Faculty of Science (PMF) in Split recently supported another initiative to popularize science and education. This event showcased various activities for students participating in the STeam project, who presented their work inspired by these initiatives.
Celebrating Student Creativity
In a theater setting, students captivated a full audience with skits, presentations, and videos. They creatively combined dance with AI, sustainability, technology and emotions, science in sports, smart cities, and even cosmetics. This display highlighted the importance of encouraging young minds to adopt and apply knowledge, as they are always ready to question and push the boundaries of what is known.
Collaboration for Success
The success of this event was made possible through the collaboration of various experts and institutions. Researchers from the Institute for Social Research in Zagreb, in partnership with the City of Split and A1 Hrvatska, led the A1 STEMfemme Junior project, aimed at encouraging girls towards STEM careers. However, the activities were inclusive of boys as well. The project’s impact is a testament to the dedicated teamwork with school teachers, university staff, and many enthusiasts who have systematically worked on popularizing science and technology for years.
The Role of AI Compile and Digital Dalmatia
Scientists from AI Compile once again demonstrated their indispensable role in education and AI-related activities. Their long-term commitment to popularizing the IT sector and education, in collaboration with Digital Dalmatia of the Split-Dalmatia County, has been ongoing for seven years. This sustained effort underscores the university’s and research group’s correct approach in fostering a tech-savvy and knowledgeable society through such initiatives.
Conclusion
The recent event not only highlighted the integration of AI and STEM in education but also showcased the power of collaboration and sustained effort in inspiring the next generation. By supporting and encouraging young students, these initiatives play a crucial role in building a knowledgeable and forward-thinking society.
