📋 Tender Overview
Artificial intelligence has great potential for schools. In order to prepare schools for the possibilities it presents and to inform them about the opportunities and risks, the state is establishing the AI ??Center for Schools in Heilbronn.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is also becoming increasingly important in schools - but many opportunities still need to be discovered. In order to prepare schools for the possibilities offered by AI and to educate them about the opportunities and risks, the state is establishing the AI ??Center for Schools in Heilbronn. Minister of Education Theresa Schopper opened the center with a large ceremony. The AI ??Center for Schools is supported by the Center for School Quality and Teacher Training (ZSL) in cooperation with the Dieter Schwarz Foundation and is located at the Heilbronn Innovation Park Artificial Intelligence (IPAI) .
networking of science and practice
"AI is the key technology of the 21st century with great potential, and we are supporting schools in its use," said Minister Schopper. "With the AI ??Center for Schools, we are facing the challenges of the times and creating a space in which we can work with practitioners from schools and experts to develop solutions for modern teaching." In the future, the new center will deal with AI for school education in all its breadth - from teacher training to education and curricula to possible applications in schools.
catalyst for the use of AI applications
Silke Lohmiller, Managing Director of the Dieter Schwarz Foundation, emphasized: "The AI ??Center for Schools is intended to become a catalyst for the use of AI applications in school education. By being located in the IPAI, the center benefits from the local experts. We are pleased that, together with the Dieter Schwarz Foundation, we can make an important contribution to the establishment of the AI ??Center for Schools."
And the President of the Center for School Quality and Teacher Training, Prof. Dr. Thomas Riecke-Baulecke, emphasized: "It is not without reason that artificial intelligence is called a challenging technology - it has the potential to transform schools and education in terms of structures, tasks and opportunities. With the AI ??Center School, we are well positioned to actively and profitably shape this transformation with the schools."
Application examples, teaching concepts and information materials
The AI ??Center for Schools supports schools in making AI usable in school teaching and learning processes in a way that promotes learning. In addition, the social, cultural and ethical impacts of AI are examined from a school perspective. The center will offer practice-oriented training for teachers and develop concrete application examples, teaching concepts and information materials that help schools to use AI-based tools in a way that is effective for learning and compliant with data protection regulations.
The AI ??Center School will also be broadly networked with business, science and foundations and will be a place for cross-border cooperation. Accompanying committees (scientific advisory board, advisory group) will ensure the coordination of work with other institutions and stakeholders in the respective areas of responsibility.
In order to carry out tasks that go beyond teacher training, the Dieter Schwarz Foundation is supporting the AI ??Center and its establishment in the Heilbronn Artificial Intelligence Innovation Park. The AI ??Center School will also offer training courses at the IPAI.
