AI in Education and You: Hack the Future of Tutoring
YERUN invites university students to explore how AI can transform tutoring and create personalised learning paths.
Participants will develop their proposals following the Design Thinking process:
1) Empathise, reflecting on the challenges learners face in traditional tutoring settings and how AI can help overcome these obstacles
2) Discover, exploring the ways AI can personalise the learning experience and adjust to individual learning styles and needs
3) Define, focusing on the key features of AI-driven tutoring solutions
4) Ideate, brainstorming how AI tools can be integrated to meet specific learning needsand enhance tutoring outcomes
5) Prototype, configuring a prototype of an AI-powered tutoring solution and analysinghow to actually implement it.
The proposals will be evaluated by a panel of experts and the winning team will move to the selection at the European level.
A dedicated micro-credential will recognise participants’ contributions to experimenting AI-based tutoring solutions.
Note: Please include your university name in the registration form.
