Hawaii Public Schools launched an exciting artificial intelligence project. 80 students from different schools participated in teams. They used artificial intelligence technology to design and create chatbots that could solve real problems of their classmates. This innovative project not only cultivates students' AI skills, but also provides schools with more effective ways to support students. The results have even moved the leaders of the education sector. The project was co-founded by Ian Kitajima, president of the Pacific International High-tech Research Center, and plans to launch a second round of projects in 2025.
Hawaii public schools recently piloted an artificial intelligence project, and the results impressed and even moved education leaders.
Six teams, totaling 80 students from elementary, middle and high schools across the islands, were given the task of identifying challenges faced by their classmates and creating an artificial intelligence program or "chatbot" to help find solutions.
The project was co-founded by Ian Kitajima, president of the Pacific International High-Tech Research Center. Hawaii Public Radio (HPR) interviewed Kitajima to learn about the details of the project and the progress of preparations for the second round of the project in 2025.
This project fully demonstrated the students' ability to use AI technology to solve practical problems. By making their own chatbots, students not only improved their technical skills, but also created a more convenient way for their classmates to seek help. This innovative initiative not only reflects the huge potential of AI in the field of education, but also provides valuable reference experience for education reforms in other regions.
This successful pilot project provides new ideas for the future application of artificial intelligence in education, and also indicates that artificial intelligence will become an indispensable part of future education. We look forward to more similar projects in the future to provide students with more opportunities to learn and grow.
