Home game science - use of artificial intelligence in schools

"Heimspiel Wissenschaft" with Franco Rau invites you to talk about the use of artificial intelligence in schools and education On September 26 at 6 p.m., Prof. Dr. Franco Rau will talk about his research as a junior professor of media didactics at the University of Vechta at the Freizeittreff Putbus. Admission is free, food and drinks will be provided. Can artificial intelligence really do homework or plan lessons? How well can AI-generated images be recognized and what do you need to know about these "smart machines" in order to use them effectively in school and everyday life? Prof. Dr. Franco Rau, Junior Professor of Media Didactics, will answer these and other questions in his home game. The event is aimed at young people, parents, teachers and anyone interested in the potential applications of artificial intelligence. No special prior knowledge is required. Participants are also welcome to bring their own smartphones, tablets or laptops to actively participate in the event. Prof. Dr. Franco Rau grew up in Lauterbach and attended elementary school in Putbus. After graduating from high school in Bergen auf Rügen in 2005 and completing his Master of Education at the University of Potsdam, he went on to do his doctorate at TU Darmstadt. After working as a research assistant at the University of Potsdam and TU Darmstadt, he has been working as a junior professor for media didactics at the University of Vechta since 2020. His current research focuses on development processes in a digital world, in particular on educational technologies such as artificial intelligence and challenges posed by disinformation. The event is part of the nationwide "Heimspiel Wissenschaft" series, which brings scientists to their home towns. There they talk about what, how and why they do research and what this has to do with all of our lives. They answer questions and discuss with their guests. Everyone who finds the topic exciting is invited - including people who normally have little or nothing to do with scientific research in their everyday lives. Questions and requests from the public about research in general will also be discussed. With "Heimspiel Wissenschaft", science and research become tangible in the pub around the corner, in the community center, in the clubhouse or on the village square. "Heimspiel Wissenschaft" is a joint project of the German Rectors' Conference, the science communication agency con gressa and the #WisskommLab at Heidelberg University. It is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research as part of the "Science Years" initiative.
