The Echidna Education team is redesigning the board to replace the accelerometer chip with one based on a technology known as I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit). This is a synchronous serial communication protocol designed to connect multiple devices on the same bus,…
The main objective of our association, as its name says, is the promotion and development of artificial intelligence and computational thinking in the educational world. That is why one of the activities proposed in the statutes is the ‘organisation of…
With the advent of AI-generated text, a problem has arisen which, in cases such as education, can have a very negative impact: can you tell whether a text has been generated by AI or written by a human? Until recently,…
During the 2018/19 academic year, INTEF developed a high-impact initiative: ‘The School of Computational Thinking’. The aim of this project was to disseminate and promote computational thinking to a large number of teachers from all the autonomous communities. How? Three…
Programming is a journey of learning and resilience that is characterised by a fundamental cycle: try, fail, debug and improve. When we start programming, we rarely get our code to work perfectly on the first try. This reality is not…
I have recently discovered a fascinating idea: the generation of text (or anything else that happens in sequence, such as music or drawing strokes) using statistical models based on n-grams. Jens Mönig, leader of the Snap! project, proposes a revealing…
I don’t know to what extent current science knows the mechanisms that happen in the human brain when we learn. But I believe that the practice of a cognitive skill, let’s say writing, provokes ‘something’ in our grey mass that…
In the development of LearningML, one of the key challenges was to create an educational tool for teaching Artificial Intelligence (AI) that did not rely on user accounts or external platforms. This was achieved by implementing the Machine Learning algorithms…
While working on LearningML image recognition I discovered ‘ transfer learning’, one of the techniques that I have found most useful and powerful in Machine Learning. The research begins and the potholes appear The first thing I tried was to…
On 11 November in the ‘Sala Constitucional’ of the Congress of Deputies, the four reports that the Office of Science and Technology of the Congress of Deputies (Office C), has prepared this year on four scientific topics of interest for…
