The last workshop before summer vacation

The fourth workshop with a gamified cognitive agent was held as part of the “Full STEAM Ahead” project. Seventh-grade students from the II Elementary School Varaždin, under the guidance of the physics teacher Željka Kopić, designed the agent Dr. Slavica, who talks about physical quantities. 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 Dr. Slavica talks about basic physical quantities. 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/drslavica

The workshop was held on June 15, 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). This is the last workshop in the series before the summer vacation.

The plan is to conduct at least 9 workshops for students, with a total of 12 teachers working on their development and implementation. Students with difficulties will also participate in all workshops to test newly developed teaching methods based on gamification and artificial intelligence.
