Let's stay connected!

Keen on learning more about the innovative research happening at academyEX? Connect with us at Converge!

Designed as a dynamic hub to cultivate the research culture at academyEX, Converge is a safe and supportive environment where students, alumni, staff and industry professionals come together to collaboratively discuss and critique research ideas. It’s a great opportunity to learn and unlearn!

Pedagogy, the art, science, and profession of teaching, rests on assumptions about what students need to learn, why they need to learn it, and how that learning takes place. The growing presence of AI challenges us in all three spaces.
This session explores how AI changes pedagogy. It will provide attendees with a clearer framework for thinking about the relationship between AI and teaching and new perspectives on the role of AI in the classroom.

Got an idea? A problem worth solving? Or just a dangerously curious brain?

Good. You'll fit right in.

The Aotearoa AI Hackathon Festival is taking over academyEX for two high-energy days of big ideas, bold thinking, AI and a whole lot of “what if we tried this?”

The challenges are inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), tackling real-world issues across People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership. Big global challenges that need fresh thinking, practical ideas and a bunch of clever humans willing to have a crack.

Less admin and more time to create, sounds good, right?
Emails, proposals, planning, research, project admin...the everyday stuff can quickly eat into the time you'd rather spend actually creating. In this hands-on session, Felix Scholz explores practical ways to use AI to make sense of your information, sharpen your communications and turn rough ideas into useful first drafts, organise your thinking and get moving faster.
