On June 15, 2023, the third workshop with a gamified cognitive agent was held. The workshop was conducted for seventh-grade students of the II Elementary School Vara\u017edin. The seventh-graders, along with their mathematics teacher Goran Kreminski, designed the cognitive agent Iva. The members of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from the partner institution, the Faculty of Organization and Informatics (FOI), “brought it to life” by implementing and adapting it for use.<\/p>\n

The workshop 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 of the Faculty of Organization and Informatics).<\/p>\n

Gamified conversational cognitive agents are artificial intelligence systems that include a speech interface (allowing direct conversation, i.e., they respond to human speech), a graphical interface (containing an avatar that responds to speech), and are intelligent (capable of automating various actions that would otherwise be carried out by a human). Many scientific studies show that the application of conversational cognitive agents in education yields very good results in achieving learning outcomes.<\/p>\n

The cognitive agent Iva talks about triangles in the plane. It 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\/iva<\/a><\/p>\n
