Description

This 5-day intensive course focuses on STEM and environmental studies, with an emphasis on integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into classrooms through real-world, sustainability-focused projects.
Participants will use tools like Teachable Machine to explore how machine learning can raise awareness and generate solutions for environmental challenges. Through hands-on activities, collaborative design, and reflective practice, teachers will experience how AI can support competency-based learning and inspire students to become changemakers in their communities.

By the end of the course, participants will:

- Understand the basics of AI and how it can be used to support environmental education.

- Design and train simple AI models using Teachable Machine (image/audio).

- Create at least two prototype projects: one for waste classification, and one for sound recognition in nature.

- Develop a ready-to-use, interdisciplinary lesson plan or project for their students.

- Gain confidence in guiding students through AI-based inquiry and sustainability challenges.

- Leave with a toolkit of digital resources, example projects, and a supportive teacher network.
