New Taipei City Teachers' AI Education Festival Set for Bali District

New Taipei City is set to host its annual "AI Education Harvest Festival," this year themed "Listening to the Waves in Bali, Relaxing with Fun," from August 11 to 12 in the Bali District. The event, organized by the city's Education Bureau, aims to integrate artificial intelligence education with the local landscape and cultural heritage, offering teachers a unique professional development experience.

AI technology is changing industries and also changing the educational landscape.

Education Bureau Chief Chang Ming-wen highlighted that the festival, which began in 2019, will focus on generative AI, GIS mapping, and local exploration. Teachers will engage in activities that connect them with Bali's natural ecology, cultural history, artistic creation, and sustainability issues. The program encourages educators to learn through "walking studies," observation, and practical application, fostering a deeper understanding of both AI and their local environment.

This year's festival features six major teacher communities. These include a "Nature Art Group" led by teacher Hsu Kai-lin, focusing on observing Bali's ecology with smartphone microscopes and using generative AI to create postcards and music. Another group, the "AI Arts Group" led by teacher Tsai Yu-ling, will combine Bali's humanistic landscape with digital tools for poetry and writing. Other groups will explore local attractions, the ecological significance of the Waiziwei Wetland, environmental education, and even metalworking crafts at the Shisanhang Museum.
