Bring­ing dig­i­tal­iza­tion into schools

Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence, Big Data and Algo­rithms: The three topic pack­ages, which form a good basis for teach­ing dig­i­tal com­pe­tence to school­child­ren, can be down­loaded as self-con­tained media pack­ages from the media por­tal of the Siemens Foundation. 

The pack­ages are divid­ed into three parts. The first part explains the nec­es­sary basics, the sec­ond part presents prac­ti­cal exam­ples, and the last part dis­cuss­es oppor­tu­ni­ties and chal­lenges for soci­ety. The fac­tu­al con­tent is con­veyed in a cross-media for­mat using fac­tu­al texts, audio inter­views, films, illus­tra­tions and infographics. 

The media pack­ages con­tain a ped­a­gog­i­cal guide, an exten­sive list of links for fur­ther in-depth study, as well as task and solu­tion sheets.

The two pack­ages “Big Data” and “Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence” are already avail­able, the third pack­age on algo­rithms will fol­low shortly. 

As Open Edu­ca­tion­al Resources, the pack­ages can be down­loaded free of charge from the Media Por­tal of the Siemens Stiftung and are avail­able under the Cre­ative Com­mons License CC BY-SA 4.0, which means that the pack­age con­tents may be mod­i­fied (e.g., new texts or graph­ics may be insert­ed into a work­sheet), dis­trib­uted world­wide (includ­ing the mod­i­fied medi­um) or reassem­bled (e.g., two graph­ics from the Media Por­tal may be com­bined). The only pre­req­ui­site is that the name of the author(s) is given, any changes are indi­cat­ed and the medi­um is dis­trib­uted under the same con­di­tions and the licence is stated.
