About us
Where do Wolves and Badgers live in Slovenia? Does Monet paint water motifs or is it Manet? Can artificial intelligence recognise when a politician is telling the truth? Is the oak the only tree with fan leaves? Did SARS-CoV-2 really jump off a bat and if so, when? Does the number of years spent in school really increase life expectancy?
The Pumice project develops educational activities that can be used to enrich different school subjects. We use data related to the subject matter and explore it using AI and machine learning approaches. In collaboration with teachers, we have developed learning templates and background explanations for teachers and students.
PUMICE is supported by Google.org and the Tides Foundation, ARRS and the Slovenian Government Office for Digital Transformation under the CRP V2-2274 project. Artificial intelligence is being deployed using the Orange tool, which is being developed by the Bioinformatics Laboratory with the support of ARRS.
