🙋T4EU Pupils Labs: dijaki in dijakinje Gimnazija Škofja Loka na raziskovalnem obisku

12. junija nas je obiskalo 30 dijakinj in dijakov Gimnazije Škofja Loka. Obisk je potekal v okviru iniciative T4EU Pupils Labs, katere namen je mladim približati raziskovanje, znanost in koncept podjetništva znanja.

Dijaki so se udeležili dveh naravoslovnih delavnic: spoznavali so sredozemske zdravilne in aromatične rastline ter raziskovali pomen opraševalcev in razvoj peloda pod mikroskopom.

Obisk so zaključili z ogledom Akvarija Piran, kjer so spoznali življenje severnega Jadrana in pomen varovanja morskega okolja.

🙋T4EU Pupils Labs: workshops for Gimnazija Škofja Loka Gymnasium students

On 12 June, 30 students from Škofja Loka Gymnasium visited us through the T4EU Pupils Labs initiative, which brings research, science, and knowledge-based entrepreneurship closer to young people.

Students attended two science workshops: first, they learned about Mediterranean medicinal plants, and then they explored the importance of pollinators and pollen development under a microscope.

They concluded the visit with a tour of the Piran Aquarium, where they discovered the life of the northern Adriatic Sea and learned about the importance of protecting the marine environment.

Odgovor se skriva v priporočilnih sistemih, ki analizirajo naše vedenje in na tej podlagi oblikujejo personalizirane izkušnje. Priporočilni sistemi so postali nepogrešljiv del našega vsakdana, vendar njihovo delovanje pogosto ostaja skrito v ozadju.
Udeleženci bodo pridobili vpogled kako priporočilni sistemi povezujejo vedenje uporabnikov z algoritmičnimi odločitvami, analizirali vpliv teh odločitev na uporabniško izkušnjo.

Poleg tehničnega delovanja bomo odprli tudi pomembna etična in družbena vprašanja personalizacije ter pogledali, kako se bo odnos med uporabniki in priporočilnimi sistemi razvijal v prihodnosti.
Pridobite znanje za boljše razumevanje digitalnih storitev, ki jih uporabljamo vsak dan.
