The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized industries worldwide, and education is no exception. During a recent community service project led by Ministry of State scholarship beneficiaries, students at Muslim Congress High School learned how to leverage AI to enhance their education and prepare for the future.
Why AI Matters in Education
AI is more than a buzzword—it’s a tool that has the potential to transform how students learn and teachers teach. From personalizing education to automating routine tasks, AI empowers students to focus on creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration.
The beneficiaries organized workshops where they discussed the importance of technology and practical ways for students to integrate AI into their daily academic lives.
How Students Can Leverage AI for Learning
Personalized Study Plans:
AI tools like Quizlet and Duolingo adapt to each student’s learning pace and style, ensuring a more tailored educational experience.
Instant Research Assistance:
Platforms like ChatGPT allow students to quickly gather information, brainstorm ideas, and refine their understanding of complex topics.
Enhanced Collaboration:
AI-powered collaboration tools like Google Workspace and Microsoft Teams streamline group projects, enabling seamless communication and real-time feedback.
Creative Exploration:
Students were introduced to AI applications that generate art, compose music, and even write stories, encouraging them to explore their creative potential.
Inspiring a New Generation
The project inspired students to view AI not as a replacement for human effort but as a powerful ally in achieving their academic goals. “I’ve learned how AI can help me study smarter, not harder,” said Jalloh Abdurahaman, a 12th grader aspiring to become a data scientist.
The initiative also highlighted the need for schools to embrace technology in their curriculum. The beneficiaries advocated for increased access to tech resources and ongoing teacher training to ensure that AI becomes an integral part of the learning experience.
