Harnessing generative AI in preschool education

Generative artificial intelligence to support early childhood learning

In this one-hour webinar, we will explore the transformative potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in preschool education. Together with our expert, we will examine

• how AI tools can support early childhood learning through personalised and adaptive experiences
• the benefits and challenges of integrating AI technologies into classroom settings
• how AI can enhance educators’ ability to foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in young learners

This is a poster event and part of the European Digital Education Hub’s collaborative inquiry activities.
