4. Teaching Artificial Intelligence with IT2School

The AI modules of IT2School have a simple structure that  lets teachers implement the curriculum in classrooms with little prior training. The learning modules help identify AI in the real world and understand the impact of automated processes in daily life.

The development is a public-private collaboration in partnership between the University of Oldenburg, the Free University Berlin, and the Wissensfabrik network of which SAP is a member. 

The modules were developed as extension to the existing Wissensfabrik IT2School modules & complement the AI course.
