What began as an educational journey quickly became a memorable experience that combined technology, creativity, scientific discovery and cross-border cooperation. Over three intensive days, 13 students and 2 teachers…
What happens when you bring together curious students from Vienna, educational robots, artificial intelligence, 3D printers, and three intense days inside an innovation lab in Bratislava? Sometimes, something much bigger than a workshop begins. From 14 to 16 April 2026, students and teachers from Gymnasium Simongasse in Vienna travelled to SmartLab STU in Bratislava to…
At the ICER project, we believe that technology is the new language we use to shape the world around us. However, we often encounter the prejudice that the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is strictly a male domain. Our recent 3D Jewelry Modeling and Printing workshop, held on March 18, 2026, at…
Teachers who are interested in modern technologies in education now have an opportunity to expand their knowledge and professional network through participation in international conferences focused on educational innovation, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Within the framework of the ICE Robotics project, teachers may apply for reimbursement of travel costs associated with attending selected conferences dedicated…
When people talk about educational technologies, the discussion often swings between two extremes: uncritical enthusiasm on one side and deep scepticism on the other. Visiting Bett UK at ExCeL London, one of the world’s largest EdTech fairs, and two Apple Distinguished Schools, offered a more grounded perspective. What emerged was not a story about gadgets…
During the autumn months of 2025, the ICER project implemented the second phase of its international robotics bootcamps, bringing together students from Austria and Slovakia for intensive, hands-on learning experiences. Three bootcamps took place between November and December, involving students from GRG10 Laaerberg (Vienna), Spojená škola Mokrohájska, and SPŠE Hálova. This article summarizes the key…
The title of this blog is derived from a study that was published just a few weeks ago. The full text of its title is “Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for an Essay-Writing Task”. In this blog, we bring you some key insights from this and two…
Between March and June 2025, our ICE Robotics project launched the first wave of bootcamps in Bratislava and Vienna. Six bootcamps, dozens of teachers, and more than 100 students later — we’ve gathered a treasure trove of insights about how young people learn robotics, AI, and 3D design best. So, what happened inside these three-day…
You may have heard of Khan Academy, but did you know that it also offers other AI-powered tools in addition to its courses? One of them gives students help with essay writing.
