Enhancing AI Learning and Teaching Effectiveness Through Building AIoT Project with CUHK iPort

Overview

With the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI has penetrated the education sector, creating a need for planning and implementation of AI education to nurture students’ interest and capabilities in learning AI from an early age. However, many AI teaching and learning resources in the market are limited to the software with little connection to the physical world, and is considered unconducive for learners to master abstract AI knowledge.

Therefore, the CUHK research team developed “CUHK iPort”, an educational toolkit for upper primary and junior secondary level, integrating an AI model training platform, a wireless controller and flexible choices of components and accessories. It empowers students to unleash their innovative and creative potential to design and develop AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) projects connected with daily life.

In this workshop, the speaker will introduce the key functions and features of iPort, demonstrate how to use it to develop AIoT projects and share practical examples of using iPort for teaching and learning in the classroom. In addition, the hands-on part of the workshop will enable participants to experience firsthand the AI model training process and building creative AIoT projects with iPort.
