📢 An interdisciplinary team at Monash University has developed and piloted a world-first 'AI Energy Futures' curriculum, engaging 70 Melbourne high school students in reimagining their future schools. The project is a collaboration between the Emerging Technologies Research Lab, Monash University, Monash Education and Monash Tech School funded by a Monash Data Futures Institute Seed Grant. By empowering students to participate in shaping their future, the team has achieved two crucial goals: ✅ Fostering futures education: students were given tools to think critically about what's to come, equipping them to participate in discussions about technology and sustainability. ✅ Amplifying young voices: the project created a platform for students' expectations and ideas about alternative futures to be heard, potentially leading to more effective and student-centric education policies.
