SUMMARY:New Thinking: New Possibilities STEM Webinar Series\, webinar 1 
 Discovering AI: Creating Curious Classrooms ELC – Year 9
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 Webinar Series aims to bring together educators from
 the Early Years to Year 12\, researchers and industry to consider new
 thinking and possibilities and explore how STEM education can provide
 students with new opportunities and pathways for a strong and vibrant
 future.\n\nIn this webinar\, participants will be provided with an overview
 of Artificial Intelligence (AI) resources available of the Digital
 Technologies Hub and have three teachers discuss how they successfully
 planned and implemented AI in their classrooms in Semester 2 2021. The
 teachers and students began this learning with very little prior knowledge
 of AI.\n\nMartin Richards (Education Services Australia)\, Leonie Shapter
 (Woodcroft College)\, Ethan Wildman (Pilgrim School) and Libby Spencer
 (Pilgrim School) will share how they developed their knowledge and
 understanding of AI to create units of work that enabled their students to
 successfully navigate the incredible world of Artificial
 Intelligence.\n\nThe Woodcroft College students developed a Machine
 Learning Model using Google’s Teachable Machine that could identify
 common waste types found in school bins. The purpose was to create a visual
 model used in conjunction with a Scratch based program to enable students
 to identify the waste and sort it into the correct bins. While training
 their machine students learnt about the limitations of data and what they
 would require to refine their model. Having an authentic connection between
 digital technology\, science and sustainability provided an avenue for
 students to create a viable solution to a real-life problem.\n\nThe Pilgrim
 School students developed an understanding of machine learning and how to
 categorise emojis. They developed sophisticated content mastery of AI in
 relation to teachable machines and could discuss why it was important for
 consistency in data for the machine to recognise key facial features to
 correctly categorise the emoji face. The students were also able to
 articulate why it was important for a large data set to help ‘teach’
 the machine\, and that developing ‘prototypes’ and ‘controls’ were
 an integral part of the cyclic process of machine teaching.\n\nMartin
 Richards is a Content Manager at Education Services Australia (ESA) and
 leads the Content development for the Digital Technologies Hub. Martin has
 led the development of resources to support teachers to implement Digital
 Technologies. In his most recent work\, Martin has collaborated with
 experts in the field of Artificial Intelligence to develop innovative
 lessons to enable teachers to deliver this exciting area into their
 classrooms.\n\n2022 sessions:\n\n8 March\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n17 May\,
