About EAAI

EAAI-21 invites AI educators and researchers to share and discuss advances in AI education.

Submission Types

EAAI-21 has a main track and three special tracks. All submissions are subject to double-blind review. All accepted submissions are to be presented at the symposium, which will be held virtually.

Main Track

The main track invites a broad range of papers on teaching AI and teaching with AI. Submissions may be framed as research papers or as experience reports. Potential topics include:

Special Track: Demos, Software Tools, and Activities for Teaching AI in K-12

Chairs: Dave Touretzky (Carnegie Mellon) and Christina Gardner-McCune (University of Florida)

This special track invites papers on the development and use of resources to support K-12 AI education. Examples include online demos, software tools, and structured activities. Our goal is to make resources available for K-12 teachers to use in the classroom to engage students in learning about AI technologies. Papers should include the following: description of the resource; target age group; setup and resources needed; AI concepts addressed; expected learning outcomes; and (if possible) implementation results. Online demos and software tools should be accompanied by brief video walk-throughs.

Special Track: Gin Rummy Undergraduate Research Challenge

Chair: Todd Neller (Gettysburg College)

This special track invites papers addressing the Gin Rummy Undergraduate Research Challenge (http://cs.gettysburg.edu/~tneller/games/ginrummy/eaai). The object of this challenge is to develop a competitive and efficient Gin Rummy player. The broader purpose of EAAI undergraduate research challenges is to encourage faculty-mentored undergraduate students to experience the full life-cycle of AI research.

Submissions should be framed as research papers, with at least one undergraduate author and at least one faculty author, reporting on a player that has been submitted to the tournament.

Special Track: Model AI Assignments Session

Chair: Todd Neller, Gettysburg College

This special track invites assignments for AI classes. Good assignments take a lot of work to design. If an assignment you have developed may be useful to other AI educators, this track provides an opportunity to share it. Model AI Assignments are kept in a public online archive.

This track has special submission instructions (http://modelai.gettysburg.edu).
