AI EduCamp 25

Learning to use AI effectively comes through hands-on exploration and shared experience. As AI tools excel at some tasks and struggle with others, we learn most by experimenting together. Fortnightly EduCamp sessions, co-hosted by WIHEA's AI in Education Learning Circle create space for knowledge exchange, sharing discoveries, challenges, and practical insights.

Following an unconference format, each session's agenda will be shaped by participants at the start.
