Day of AI Australian Champions – Congratulations Jenny Ton and Nyah Napoles   Congratulations! Jenny Ton and Nyah Napoles in Year 8 who have were crowned Australian Champions in The Day of AI competition and have won $1,200 for their class for their entry in the Day of AI Student Challenge with their submission, Water PH Monitor. This is the 3rd consecutive year that Plumpton High School students won National Titles with Zain Al-Shible and Haaziq Anwaar in 2023, Caiden Bond and Alice Ton in 2022 and Ewen Neoh and Annacemone Nashid placed 3rd in 2022.   The prize money can go towards setting up a great technology environment or experience. For example, the students could use the funds to purchase technology for the classroom (such as iPads, laptop, audio-visual equipment) or for an excursion to a tech-centric location for themselves or their class.   Day of AI is a full day of highly interactive lessons for students’ year 5 to 10 on artificial intelligence (AI). Day of AI’s program is designed by MIT, i2Learning, and CS in Schools to support all teachers with AI education.   In 2023 there were participants from over 110 countries, with 7,512 teachers ranging from large public classrooms in major cities to homeschooled children in rural communities. Educators are encouraged to teach the curriculum year-round. That has been the impact of our work to date. But we are continuing to expand.   Developed by MIT RAISE (Responsible AI for Social Empowerment and Education) researchers, Day of AI is a novel, low-barrier, high-impact short curriculum offered free of charge to K-12 students and their teachers. AI is for everyone, impacting our personal and professional lives, which is why we encourage teachers and students across all grades to utilize our materials to educate for the growing use of AI.   A big thank you to Mr. Jaswal, Mr. Honeysett and Mr. Shakespeare for leading our Plumpton team in this wonderful opportunity and capacity building for our students. Also, to the TDI Foundation and CS in Schools for their support in enabling the event to take place in Australia.   Tim Lloyd, Principal   #NSWDepartmentofEducation #TDMFoundation #CSinSchools #AI #DayofAI #MIT #MITRAISE #i2learning #generativeai
