In this project, innovative, interactive and multidisciplinary methods were sought in order to strengthen the key competences\/transversal skills in the actual competences of learners. The goal of the project<\/strong> was to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) skills of ICT teachers and pupils in VET sector by offering learning\/teaching\/training material to respond to the demand of AI talent in the European labour market. <\/span><\/p>\n Lesson materials developed in this project was the first encounter with AI processes for targeted ICT teachers and students. Introducing machine learning into the curriculum was completely new to partner schools and the VET sector in general, as well as the applications and the hardware used for the learning process.

– Develop lesson materials for an innovative study unit Introduction to Artificial Intelligence<\/strong> – a comprehensive course for students who have basic programming skills, in order to equip them with knowledge of machine learning processes.\u00a0
– Integrate the study unit<\/strong> into each partner country\u2019s formal education system, thus enabling the sustainability of the project\u2019s results and ensuring the incorporation of AI qualifications into national and European VET systems. The scope of the study unit varies depending on the country: 5-6 credits (90-150 hours), consisting of guided (classroom) hours, self-study and assessment (or 15 competence points based on local competence requirements in Finland). This study unit will be an optional (freely chosen) unit for multiple ICT-related study programs.
– Provide competence development for ICT teachers<\/strong>, as key actors in the acquisition and transference of new digital skills.
– Disseminate the project\u2019s intellectual output<\/strong> across VET and other educational sectors.<\/p>\nActivities of the project<\/h2>\n
