Generation AI is a European project, funded by the Erasmus+ programme, which aims to help young students understand basic principles of Artificial Intelligence, help teachers and students in primary education to become more critical consumers of technology applications throughout their lives.
The main outcome of this project, launched in December 2020, is an e-learning platform. This platform will include resources that will help educators understand the uses of AI in everyday life, preparing them to teach their students about AI applications, strengths and weaknesses, in line with DigiComp and DigiEdu.

GENERATION AI
Through this we aim, on the one hand, to support students and teachers in developing problem solving skills, computational thinking and design thinking of AI tools and methods. On the other hand, to support teachers and students in developing their digital skills and to develop a critical understanding of AI and its application to everyday life.
