K-12 agency sets up online classes for AI programmingBy Yang Mien-chieh and Jonathan Chin / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe K-12 Education Administration in collaboration with universities has launched online classes for high-school and vocational school students based on the Python programming language. The course would provide the economy with an artificial intelligence (AI)-literate workforce, the Ministry of Education-run agency said in a statement yesterday. Teaching the course online would help bridge the urban-rural divide in access to educational resources, the agency said. Another student was cited as saying that they hope to use their new coding skills to develop games, Web sites and AI designs. Encouraging the spirit of discovery and the courage to overcome fear of failure are invaluable lessons on top of coding skills themselves, the teacher said.
