Session Abstract

In an era dominated by technology, the conventional methods of understanding complex concepts often lack the spark of engagement. How can we kindle curiosity and transform the process of playfully mastering the intricate world of generative AI into an enjoyable adventure? Join us on an exploration that unveils the boundless potential of playful learning, with Minecraft as our canvas for unraveling the magic of generative AI and M365 Copilot. Key Takeaway: Discover how playful learning can demystify generative AI, ignite creativity, and cultivate a deep understanding of this fascinating technology, and learn how to incorporate these innovative approaches into your educational toolkit or tech enthusiast journey. In this presentation, we challenge the notion that learning is best achieved through passive observation of PowerPoint slides. Instead, we embark on a journey that illustrates how a Minecraft-based games can serve as a gateway to playfully master the nuances of generative AI and M365 Copilot. Dive deep into the captivating realm of generative AI and witness how learning can be an exciting quest filled with exploration and wonder. Benefits: • Explore the endless possibilities of M365 Copilot • Gain insights into the power of combining creativity and technology in educational settings. • Understand the real-world applications and potential of generative AI. • Witness a live presentation of a Minecraft-based game world that demonstrates the principles of playful learning in action. Prepare to be inspired as we demonstrate that education and enjoyment can seamlessly coexist. Whether you are an educator seeking innovative teaching methods or a tech enthusiast eager to playfully master the world of generative AI, this presentation will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the power of playful exploration in understanding the creative potential of AI.

Sandra Kiel

Sandra Kiel describes herself as an innovation nerd, disruptive implementer or atmospheric scientist, depending on what's on her mind. As a self-confessed multi-talent, she usually has a lot and a variety on her plate. Her motto: "I'm impatient - please accept that" sums it up all the more. She is a project and event manager with heart and soul and has been designing in various (IT) projects for over 15 years - across all sectors and almost always with a strong impact on the organisations. Her focus is not so much on the technical excellence of implementing a new solution. Rather, she is dedicated to the processes and the people behind the processes. She develops and empowers communities and thinks of digitisation from the perspective of people, and likes to discuss this question intensively: How do we want to live and work in the future and what significance does work have for us, so that we can give digitisation its meaning and its true effectiveness. Today, she also likes to found a start-up and works as a coach, mentor and consultant to pass on her experience and knowledge. But also to show that a certain attitude and a good dose of courage are necessary to break out of the classic working models and ways of thinking.
