AI WITH HEART: MINDS ALIGHT

“AI with Heart" is an innovative eTwinning project where 12-13-14 years students explore the world of Artificial Intelligence while learning essential values such as empathy, respect, responsibility, collaboration, etc. Through digital storytelling, creative AI simulations, and interactive activities, students will design their own AI friends and share how technology can positively impact our lives.

“AI with Heart: Minds Alight” is a pioneering eTwinning project that invites students aged 11–14 to delve into the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence through a values-centered perspective. By seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technology with core human values—empathy, responsibility, respect, and collaboration—this initiative empowers young learners to become ethical and competent individuals. Through immersive AI simulations, creative digital storytelling, and interactive, hands-on activities, students design AI companions that exemplify how technology can positively and responsibly enhance our daily lives.

By integrating AI education with ethical reflection, this project empowers students to not only understand technological tools but also to cultivate moral awareness and critical thinking, shaping them into digitally competent and socially conscious global citizens.
