Presentation by Yunchen Sun, postdoc på Linköping Universitet:

Generative AI for STEM educators in Swedish HEIs

Abstract
As generative AI, exemplified by tools like ChatGPT, became ubiquitous in late 2022, Swedish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) united to formulate guidelines and recommendations for its integration into education. In this practice-oriented presentation, we explore the implications for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) educators in Swedish HEIs and how they have adjusted their teaching routines to meet the challenges posed by generative AI, particularly in course design and examination. The focus is on practical strategies and examples employed by STEM educators to maintain academic integrity and quality.

STEAM Education in Danish High Schools

Abstract
This presentation will focus on a project called Taxonomies in Spinderihallerne. It explores a STEAM framework in collaboration with gymnasiums, by using methods of combining botanical painting, ink making, and code to investigate, understand, and share our knowledge on about nature and natural sciences.
