We would like to invite you to participate in the final event of the project WISE-AI: Fostering young women’s employability by promoting Sustainable Development Goals through Artificial Intelligence, a project that aims to develop an innovative approach, combining training with educational play (Minecraft Education and a Knowledge Portal), to help young women (15-29 years old) explore their entrepreneurship skills and capabilities relating to the field of AI and bridge the gap of inclusion and equality, and encourage the innovation and sustainability of the SDG goals, based on a fun, engaging, and positive game environment.
The event will take place on March 19, will be streamed online via the Zoom platform, and it will be conducted in English.
WISE-AI is an international project (Erasmus+) that brings together partners from different European countries, aiming to help young people better understand the world of artificial intelligence (AI), its opportunities, and its role in building a sustainable future. In Portugal, the project is locally coordinated by Professor Aristides Ferreira (BRU-Iscte).
During the event, participants will:
- Explore the basics of AI through interactive activities
- Try the educational Minecraft game based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- Use the WISE-AI Knowledge Portal
- Work in teams and complete practical tasks
- Discuss the impact of technology on future careers and entrepreneurship
Special attention is given to encouraging girls’ engagement in technology and innovation, supporting them in confidently choosing STEM pathways and finding their place in the rapidly evolving digital world.
