ARTIE activities
Primary school Čakovec is one of 60 schools from the Republic of Croatia that was selected to implement the innovative STEAM program of introducing artificial intelligence into the education system, organized by STEMI Lab and Infobipa.
Artificial intelligence is a technology that, with its accelerated development, facilitates the performance of our daily activities. Chatbot is one of the examples of application of artificial intelligence in communication. It is a computer program with which we communicate through almost all chat applications, and which provides help or access to the information we need in a quick and easy way, with a full conversational experience. Domestic IT company Infobip helps numerous business users around the world in their digital transformation precisely through one of its key software products, Answers - a platform for creating chatbots. Using the expertise and experience of Infobip's engineers and experts, we want to enable primary and secondary school students to step into the chatbot world and try their hand at creating their own chatbot.
Seven teams of students were formed who enthusiastically accepted a completely new and different challenge and readily set about creating their chatbots whose mission is to solve the 17 global goals of the United Nations for sustainable development by 2030.
