About EAAI-25
The Thirteenth Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence (EAAI-25) will be held along with AAAI-25.
EAAI-25 provides a venue for researchers and educators to discuss pedagogical issues and share resources related to teaching and using AI in education across a variety of curricular levels (K-12 through postgraduate training), with an emphasis on undergraduate and graduate teaching and learning. The symposium seeks contributions showing how to more effectively teach AI, as well as how themes from AI may be used to enhance education more broadly (for example, in introductory computing courses or as a means for teaching computational thinking). We encourage the sharing of innovative educational approaches that convey or leverage AI and its many subfields, including robotics, machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and others.
EAAI-25 is expected to include invited talks (including a talk of the recipient of the AAAI/EAAI Outstanding AI Educator Award 2025), Model AI Assignments; a special track for Resources for Teaching AI in K-12, and other exciting activities.
Call for Participation
The call for participation is now available here.
EAAI-25 has several tracks for submission:
- Main Track (link)
- Special Track: Resources for Teaching AI in K-12 (link)
- Special Track: Model AI Assignments (link)
Details for length and style of submissions are provided in the call for participation.
All submissions should be anonymous for double-blind review.
EAAI-25 will not consider any paper that, at the time of submission, is under review for or has already been published or accepted for publication in a refereed journal or conference. Once submitted to EAAI-25, papers may not be submitted to another refereed journal or conference during the review period. These restrictions do not apply to unrefereed forums or workshops without archival proceedings.
AAAI/EAAI Outstanding Educator Award
We will invite you to submit your nominations for the 2025 AAAI/EAAI Patrick Henry Winston Outstanding Educator Award soon!AAAI/ACM SIGAI Innovative AI Education Program
