Come and join a day where high school teachers, researchers, and policymakers gather for presentations, workshops, and panel discussions, seeking common understandings of challenges and possible solutions - enhance your teaching with new insights.

Generative artificial intelligence has become an integral component of the tools utilized in both higher education and high schools. Spanning disciplines from aesthetics and music to mathematics, Danish, law, and business economics, AI technologies are opening new avenues for teaching and learning. However, these advancements also pose challenges, necessitating a thoughtful and informed approach to their implementation.

Keynote 1. Dr. Leigh Ann DeLyser

Computing and generative AI in education – opportunities and challenges.

Leigh Ann DeLyser, PhD, is a director of  Center for Education Research & Innovation at the SRI Research Institute in Silicon Valley comprising more than 55 researchers. DeLyser was named as one of the Women Leading the AI Revolution in Education at the ASU+GSV Air Show in 2024. She received her PhD in computer science and cognitive psychology, with a focus on CS education, from Carnegie Mellon University. DeLyser has deep expertise in computer science (CS) and STEM education and has focused on broadening participation in those fields. DeLyser is also an experienced K–12 educator, professional development provider, community college researcher.  

Keynote 2: Dr. Aman Yadav, Michigan State University

Bridging the Gap: Integrating Computational Thinking into K-12 Education – Insights, Strategies, and Recommendations from U.S. Research and Practice

Dr. Aman Yadav is the Lappan-Phillips Professor of Computing Education in the College of Education and College of Natural Science at Michigan State University with extensive experience in research, evaluation, and teacher professional development. His research and teaching focus on supporting educators to understand, apply, and critically evaluate the use of computing in K-12 classrooms. He leads several projects that design, implement, and assess how professional learning experiences can support teachers to bring computational tools and practices to support their disciplinary teaching. His co-edited book, Computational Thinking in Education: A Pedagogical Perspective (Routledge, 2022) tackles how to integrate computational thinking, coding, and subject matter in relevant and meaningful ways.

In Collaboration with Danske Gymnasier, Danske Erhvervsskoler og Gymnasier, and It-vest

The conference is organized in collaboration with the Knowledge Center for Digital Technology Comprehension, DG, DEG, and It-vest – a partnership of universities. Our shared focus is to enhance students' digital competencies and to foster a common understanding of technology in primary and secondary education.
