Session 1: Senses vs Sensors

This workshop integrates AI, machine learning, and robotics into the kindergarten curriculum.

We primarily use EMOS robots, but the workshop can be adapted to any type of robot available in the school (Bee-Bot, Blue-Bot, Thymio, Dash, Ozobot, etc.), as well as various AI tools to enrich the students’ learning experience.

Session 2: More Than Just Play

We have successfully conducted this eTwinning project, which integrates coding, AI, and machine learning in early childhood education, both in urban and rural schools across Europe.

This project has demonstrated a tangible impact on students’ skills and pedagogical innovation, which we would be delighted to share during the conference.

Session 3: Growing with AI - From Today's Classroom Challenges to Tomorrow's Solutions

This workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to artificial intelligence for teachers, combining theory and practice with concrete applications adaptable to different educational contexts.
