Where in Slovenia do you find Foxes and Wolfs? Does Monet paint water motifs or is it Manet? Can artificial intelligence recognise when a politician is telling the truth? Is the oak the only tree with fan leaves? Did SARS-CoV-2 really jump off the bat and if so, when? Does the number of years spent in school really increase life expectancy?
The project Pumice develops educational activities to enhance different school subjects. We use data related to the subject matter and explore it with AI and machine learning approaches. In collaboration with teachers, we have developed learning templates and background explanations for teachers and students.
The activities developed are published on http://pumice.si. The project has also delivered several training sessions for teachers and we are working on an Artificial Intelligence for Teachers handbook.
The project a collaboration of two institutions, the Faculty of Computer Science, Universiry of Ljubljana, and the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Maribor.
