DURATION:

(2024-2026)

MAIN OBJECTIVE: 

The WISE-AI project is designed to increase young women’s participation in AI by integrating education with gamified learning, through the use of Minecraft, and promoting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The primary objectives are to provide AI training, enhance entrepreneurial skills among young women to address gender inequality in AI, foster innovation, and support sustainable development through collaborative and innovative educational approaches focused on the themes of clean energy and climate action.

MAIN RESULTS:

The project is divided into two main work packages, a Knowledge Portal and the Minecraft game designed to teach AI skills and SDGs.

• Knowledge Portal: it will offer AI-related educational resources. The Knowledge Portal aims to provide comprehensive knowledge on AI and its relation to the SDGs, offering training methodologies and resources for youth trainers and educators to support young women’s exploration of careers in AI
• Minecraft Game: It will serve as a gamified learning environment, helping young women understand AI principles while engaging with the SDGs, thus promoting knowledge retention and making learning interactive

In summary, the WISE-AI project is a collaborative effort to empower young women in AI through innovative education methods, focusing on practical engagement with technology and promoting equality and sustainability. The project’s structure, objectives, and activities are designed to create a meaningful impact in the educational landscape for youth and contribute to the global goals set by the United Nations. All materials will remain accessible for at least three years post-completion.
