Gamified Cognitive Agent in the 3rd Grade.

The second workshop with a gamified cognitive agent was held at the II Elementary School Varaždin as part of the “Full STEAM Ahead” project. The workshop took place on June 14, 2023, and was led by the computer science teacher Marinela Schatten, M.Sc., an external collaborator, and Tomislav Peharda, M.Sc., a representative of Partner 1 (Artificial Intelligence Laboratory).

Under the guidance of their homeroom teacher Martina Dugonjić, the students of the 3rd grade (class 3. a) created a drawing of the agent named Zamrljan and gave it a name. Members of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from the partner institution, the Faculty of Organization and Informatics, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Sc. Markus Schatten, implemented and adapted it for use.

The cognitive agent Zamrljan talks about nature and society in the Varaždin County. The created agent has been released as open-source software and is available for anyone who wants to try it at the following link: https://dragon.foi.hr/zamrljan
