Integrating of ICSE Education and Social STEM Education - Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSESchool
We present an approach in STEM education at the intersection of machine learning, gamification, and social context based in Thailand. We designed an agricultural based AI challenge that fostered students to learn the process of creating machine learning models in the form of a game with the emphasis on the Four P's of Creative Learning (Projects, Passion, Play, and Peers). Our goal is to come up with an innovative education model that encourages the students to connect the emerging technological solutions such as AI with the pressing realworld problems in the playful environment. We found that machine learning can be used as a tool to successfully conduct interdisciplinary education at the middle school level.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area in computer science that focuses on the creation of intelligent systems inspired by human intelligence and beyond. The emerging applications of AI span across various sectors from medicine to manufacturing, and particularly education. The implementations of AI in education are to help support learning in the forms of intelligent tutoring system , personalized environments for learning experiences , assistive tools for teachers in order to deliver high-quality education and more. Beyond applying AI as the tools for education, the process of learning to make AI is increasingly important as technology becomes the disruptive forces to create changes and solve many problems in society.

However, learning the process to make AI is a challenging task, given the complexity of AI and the prior technical background knowledge required in order to understand AI. This paper suggests an approach to tackle this challenge using gamification in teaching machine learning (ML), a type of AI that can learn from the given dataset to perform a specific task without being explicitly programmed, to young students. Further, we extended our approach in the learning of AI to a social domain using real-world examples as the challenge for the students to solve. Our goal is to come up with an innovative education model that fosters the students to connect the emerging technological solutions such as AI with the pressing real-world problems in the playful environment.
