DUBAI, June 6, 2023 (WAM) — The Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications Office (AI Office), in partnership with Digital Schools, has launched its first ever competition in the field of Generative Artificial Intelligence.
It is one of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) to use ChatGPT to develop teaching tools that enable teachers to create lesson plans for students of all backgrounds and educational levels.
Executive Director of the AI Office, Sakr Binkhalib, affirmed that the UAE government is keen to empower members of the community and promote cooperation to improve their skills across diverse sectors. These initiatives are specifically designed to enhance the capabilities of talented individuals and are thereby aligned with the goals of the National Program for Programmers.
In addition, we comprehensively support programmers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, enterprises and the education sector to strengthen their development and contribute to the development of the country.
Binkhalib emphasized that the first-ever competition in the field of generative AI is a pioneering effort to promote competitiveness among participants. In addition, the competition greatly advances teaching methodology, enriches teaching content, and facilitates efficient communication of ideas to students through digital platforms and tools.
Dr. Walid Al-Ali, Secretary General of the Digital School, expressed the immense potential, especially in education, to harness cutting-edge technology and innovation to benefit humanity.
He emphasized the importance of Generative AI and that this collaboration with CodersHQ, an initiative of the National Program for Digital Schools and Coders, is a meaningful step in this direction.
The competition will greatly enhance the educational process, expand the capabilities of teachers and students, and promote innovative solutions to harness the combined power of AI and human intelligence.
This effort will empower both educators and learners by intelligently and effectively harnessing the knowledge and ideas accumulated by humanity and harnessed through generative AI applications.
Dr. Walid Al-Ali further emphasized the important role of the competition as a key element in the broader scope of a comprehensive digital school initiative.
This effort is focused on leveraging technology and innovation to advance quality education worldwide. This initiative aims to expand access and opportunities to education by effectively bridging the gap between technology and education.
The competition is centered around the creation of a comprehensive lesson plan that covers all the key elements that enhance teaching effectiveness. These include outlining lesson topics and duration, creating basic vocabulary lists to prepare students, and incorporating teaching aids to help teachers effectively communicate ideas and information.
In addition, this contest emphasizes the acquisition of skills by students through a variety of lesson plans and the implementation of ideas according to their educational level.
This competition will help improve planning skills and organize lessons in an innovative and digital way. It gives you a clear understanding of what you expect from students of all levels of education and helps them stay engaged and engaged in the conversation.
Criteria for entry into the contest include coding languages such as JavaScript and Python and basic web programming skills.
The competition consists of three levels that use generative AI techniques to develop easy-to-use and effective tools. This tool helps facilitate lessons and addresses topics such as carbon cycling, decomposition, nutritional needs of green plants, fermentation and respiration processes. , the frog life cycle.
Competitive levels include providing an initial integrated lesson plan. The second is to create a web application where the participant can enter her requirements and view her plan of lessons created in the web application. The third is to introduce fine-tuning capabilities to the web application and the created lesson plans, and the ability to publish the final lesson plans. Strapi lesson plans.
Participants will be evaluated on the quality of their deliverables, passing a programming skills assessment test at CodersHQ, adequacy of the web interactions used, passing the Digital School assessment, and how well they meet all criteria.
