• • PR1 – the BLUEPRINT REPORT: to analyze the use and impact of artificial intelligence on education, citizens, business and the public interest on which the following project results are based
  • PR2 – smartAInnovators TOOLKIT: the creation of a practical manual that introduces AI technology and video game development in VET centers (aimed at teachers and VET managers).
  • PR3 – smartAIinnovators virtual E-LEARNING ACADEMY: this part consists of the creation of a free platform, an exhibition or contest in which a group of selected students participate, and a mobile app aimed at students.
  • PR4 – EU smartAInnovator MAKERSPACE PACK: a place (real and virtual) created with the aim of educating students about the implications of AI, especially in an effort to leave behind unfavorable behaviors such as pathological gambling.
