Presentation by Emanuela, Associate Professor at STEM Education Research Center.

Computer Science Education, art-based methods and AI technologies

In this presentation, Emanuela Marchetti will present her ongoing research on Computational Thinking and Computer Science education, with reference to a practice-based investigation on AI tools for academic writing, in connection to SDU Kolding and the AI and Learning Lab. Another perspective that will be addressed is code as art-material, as exemplified by the Taxonomies project and possible directions to investigate in connection with the USE project, where art-making is seen as an epistemological resource.
