KI Care Café - networking, exchanging ideas, thinking ahead
on artificial intelligence in art classes
The KI Care Café is a practice-oriented exchange for art teachers and student teachers in art and design, but is open to anyone interested. Over three evenings, we will explore ways to meaningfully use artificial intelligence in art classes and in supervising student work. Invited experts will provide insights into current AI technologies and related issues and potential. This will be followed by an exchange of experiences on everyday teaching, the critical use of various tools, and the collaborative development of new ideas. The format promotes networking and provides space to reflect on AI in the context of art education, school practice, and beyond.
We invite you to a relaxed evening get-together in the Academy Library, including snacks and drinks. Everyone is welcome!
