Notes

It included an invited talk, paper presentations, model AI assignments, a teaching and mentoring workshop, a best educational video award, and a robotics track. The symposium was established in response to growing community interest in sharing best practices for (1) how to teach AI and (2) how AI can serve as a motivating problem for teaching concepts in other areas of computer science, especially in introductory computer science courses. EAAI encourages the sharing of innovative educational approaches that convey or leverage AI and its many subfields, including robotics, machine learning, natural language, and computer vision. EAAI follows the successful 2008 Spring Symposium on "Using AI to Motivate Greater Participation in Computer Science" and the 2008 AAAI AI Education Colloquium. Fifty-five attendees formally registered for the event, but many other AAAI attendees also visited one or more EAAI events.
