What is the bigger picture?

773 million people in the world are illiterate. Even more people are digitally illiterate UNESCO reports. UNESCO also reported that over 617 million children and adolescents were not achieving minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics.

What do we do?

Addressing illiteracy is a huge field on its own. We start by bridging the AI gap in the communities we can access. We create educative programs on the basic computer science behind AI, using explainable AI and digital art approaches.

What is the format?

Seminars, participatory lectures.

Review Process: To ensure the quality and relevance of presentations, we will be conducting an open review process using Google Slides during the weeks preceding the event. This will allow for constructive feedback from peers and experts in the field, ultimately enhancing the overall experience for our audience, particularly the students.

How can I participate?

We started already by organising the first week in May 10th-25th in collaboration with Afghan Girls Success Gate.

Computer scientists who would be interested in joining future editions of the Thematic Week in AI Literacy, please reach out to us at info@lewibo.org with the subject "AI Literacy thematic week".

Blogpost for NetSciEd 2024: Lecturers without borders changes since 2017

As the follow up on the seminar organised during NetSci2024 and specifically NetSciEd satellite, I have written the session

These are the links I was sharing. Since 2017 when we started Lecturers without borders in Nepal, we have gone through different stages of development of the organisation of the outreach - from the very first stages of 'do it yourself' stage when there were just 4 of us doing all lectures, coordination. To the stage, when coordination was mainly done by coordinators funded by the foundation, to the regime, when the organisation was again mostly driven by volunteers. What is important for me however throughout this experience is the willingness of people to make, to share knowledge, across borders, in usual situations.

Experience of teaching in India. There were children, whose age I was not sure about, whose background I did not know until the start of the lecture (from 7 to 10 age old). very often i have been giving lectures about network science, as something very intuitive, universal, and which could become

Which materials we were teaching. Since 2017 i have been following NetSciEd workshops where researcher were working on Network Literacy (e.g. see the work, which have been translated to many languages https://sites.google.com/view/netscied-2021/home-page) I have been always taking it as an example of perfect materials to share with students of different ages, from even 5-6 years old, where you can play a network game or make some visualisations of networks, which will be clear to everyone.
