ABSTRACT: The World Economic Forum’s Education 4.0 initiative has identified critical characteristics of high quality learning in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, including content that fosters global citizenship, innovation, creativity, and technology skills, as well as experiences that incorporate, among others, problem-based and student-driven learning. The Living City project for high school students is presented as a demonstration of the integration of Education 4.0 characteristics into the STEAM classroom in a design-centered fashion that allows for student choice and creativity and considers the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

ABSTRACT: This research aims in shedding light on international high school students’ perceptions, awareness, and prior knowledge about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, as well as to investigate the effect of taking a relevant learning unit within a STEAM course on students’ dispositions toward and understanding about Artificial intelligence. The analysis of performance and reflection data from 62 individuals revealed low prior student engagement with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning content, a positive shift in the anticipated societal impact of Artificial Intelligence and an active engagement with online Artificial Intelligence applications during the unit, as well as no correlation between student performance and gender. It is suggested that the development and implementation of learning designs that focus on conceptual understanding of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning could benefit all students.
