    Episode #18 (STUDENTS) – Future creators: When students become podcasters (Berlin Cosmopolitan School)

    This episode was recorded during the workshop for 6th grade students from Berlin Cosmopolitan School about the podcasting format and how podcasts are used in Media & Communication. We talked about different podcast formats, and the students made their own mini-podcasts on topics they are truly passionate about. They discussed movies, social media and influencers, school life, music and K-pop culture, as well as hobbies and sports that shaped their lives. It was incredibly inspiring to dive into their stories and imaginations. In today's digital world it is so important that young people are not only consumers but also creators. This project gave them the space to find their voices and share what really matters to them. So now let's step into their discussions and discover their perspectives.

    Episode #17 – AI and Digital Literacy Day at Berlin Cosmopolitan School: How can we prepare our kids for the future with AI?

    This episode was recorded at the "AI and Digital Literacy Day" organized for the primary students at Berlin Cosmopolitan School. This parents' initiative started with a simple, yet powerful question from a first grader: “What does AI actually mean?”. To answer this question, fourty AI experts joined our school to share their knowledge, creativity, and curiosity with students from grades 1 to 6. Together they explored how Artificial Intelligence is shaping our world: through workshops, experiments, and conversations about innovation, ethics and imagination. Parents designed digital stations that aligned with the BCS core learning goals science, creativity, critical thinking, and social-emotional learning. Each station invited students to explore not just what AI is, but how it works, why it's exciting, and what questions we should be asking about it. So let's dive into conversations about AI with our teachers, parents and students!
