- Code art (block based)
Have students create code art on a sand printer using block programming and artificial intelligence. They get access to a chatbot as a learning assistant.
More and more schools are using chatbots in teaching, but how to use them to strengthen digital creativity and learning? Can artificial intelligence make programming more accessible to more people?
In this teaching method, the students program geometric shapes which they print on a sand printer. They use block-based programming and get access to a chatbot (artificial intelligence) as a learning assistant. The chatbot will provide guidance adapted to the individual student's level, promote independent problem solving and provide important knowledge about the use of artificial intelligence.
Through trial and error, students will experience how language models can promote digital creativity and programming skills, but also what limitations the technology has and how it can be misused.
The teaching plan is particularly relevant to the new curriculum (LK20) by combining arts and crafts with mathematics through programming.
The teaching offer has been developed with support from Sparebankstiftelsen DnB.
NB! Møt opp senest 10 minutter før timen. Manglende oppmøte uten avbestilling 7 dager i forkant vil faktureres 500 kr i gebyr.

Practical information | The teacher's roleVi ønsker at du som voksen er aktiv, deltakende og nysgjerrig. Lærere er ansvarlig for gruppen under hele besøket og kan bli bedt om å hjelpe til underveis (ikke faglig/programmering). Explainer har ansvar for gjennomføring av programmet. Before the visitVåre undervisningsopplegg krever ikke forarbeid, men det er alltid nyttig å forberede elevene på et museumsbesøk. Vis gjerne bilder eller video fra museet, fortell om hva som skal skje, og se våre digitale ressurser som kan brukes til for- og etterarbeid. After the visitReflect and discuss with the students after the lesson, preferably in groups. |

Common questions and answers
One of the teachers in the group approaches the reception. We will then register that you have arrived and you will be allocated a cloakroom space and possibly cabinet for locking up valuables.
Arrive at the museum no later than 10 minutes before the start of the program. Let us know if you will be delayed by phone. 22 79 60 00. If you arrive late, the learning offer may be shortened or cancelled.
Our teaching programs are free, but you have to pay for the entrance ticket to the museum. You can only book one arrangement per visit.
Egne priser gjelder for lærere, elever og skoleklasser.
Kindergartens and schools can pay by cash/card on arrival or receive an invoice. For invoices, you must include the requisition or resource number and invoice address.
Yes! Access to the museum's exhibitions is included in the ticket for school visits. You are most welcome to explore the exhibitions both before and after the lessons.
You can eat the packed lunch in different places; in the cafe, at the reception and outside the museum entrance. It is not allowed to eat or drink in the exhibitions.
At The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology the same rules apply as at school/kindergarten. We will
- be role models for each other
- be kind to each other and the exhibits
- use consensus
- don't run.
ATTENTION: Everything behind barriers must not be touched.
Then we all have fun and contribute to a good learning experience. If you decide that your group can visit the museum shop, the teacher must be present as long as some of the children are there.
