The Algowatch project and the Centre for Teacher Training of the Sintra School Association (CFAE Sintra) organised an in-service training course titled “Media, Algorithm, and Artificial Intelligence Literacy for All,” which took place on 6 and 20 November 2024, with the participation of 104 teachers. Spanning six hours, the certified training focused on topics such as the definition and evolution of AI, its applications in education, and strategies for teaching AI concepts to students in compulsory education. Lesson plans and various resources were explored, alongside ethical and social considerations.
During the training, resources developed by the Algowatch project team were showcased, and the participating teachers were invited to test them. Following this training, a group of teachers volunteered to validate Algowatch resources with students through a series of workshops planned for February and March 2025.
