[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Did you know that the subject ‘Artificial Intelligence’ has been introduced in high schools?


At Dong-Eui Science University, these days, older(?) students are deeply engaged in studying AI. These students are currently active high school teachers in Busan city.


This is because, due to curriculum revisions, ‘Basic Artificial Intelligence’ and ‘Artificial Intelligence Mathematics’ have been introduced as elective subjects in high schools starting from the second semester.


In actual classes, lessons are expected to be conducted using artificial intelligence and software. To prepare for these classes, training sessions to enhance AI utilization capabilities for field teachers are being held at the university.


On the 25th, Dong-Eui Science University held an ‘AI Autonomous Vehicle Operation Training’ for high school teachers in the Busan area in collaboration with ‘Busan Computer Science High School AI LAB’ at the university’s Industry-Academic Cooperation Building ‘AI Cafe’.


Ten high school teachers from the Busan area attended the special lecture designed to increase understanding of artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles.


The autonomous vehicle practice kit used that day was based on Google’s AI development framework TensorFlow and NVIDIA Jetson Xavier, utilizing AI block coding.


Without prior knowledge of AI, it was possible to implement an AI autonomous driving model easily and quickly.


The teachers ran the block code containing the AI model they created themselves on the autonomous vehicle practice kit and received training on driving it on a track.


Lim Byung-jun, a teacher at Busan Computer Science High School who participated in the special lecture, said, “Through the AI blocks used in this training, even students unfamiliar with artificial intelligence will be able to easily implement AI autonomous driving models themselves and understand the principles on their own.”


Dong-Eui Science University’s AI Cafe is an experiential learning space where students can enjoyably engage with future technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data.


In addition to enrolled students, it is also open to local elementary, middle, and high school students as well as the general public, providing AI experiences and coding education tailored to different skill levels.
