Our research project, Ancient Ceramics Techniques and the Role of AI in Integrating STE(A)M Approaches, was presented at the ACA XIII Conference.
Ancient ceramics hold immense cultural, social, and technological value. Their evolution represents not only artistic expression but also advancements in engineering, mathematics, and environmental adaptation. Our research examined these dimensions and proposed how AI-driven methods like digital restoration, material analysis, and immersive learning can reinterpret traditional craftsmanship for contemporary education.
Goals, Outcomes, and Significance
The main goal was to show how ancient knowledge and emerging AI technologies can converge to provide meaningful, engaging learning experiences. Key outcomes included:
-
Innovative STE(A)M Learning:
Students explored materials, chemical processes, and mathematical modeling while connecting with cultural heritage.
-
AI-Powered Education:
Applications such as digital preservation, neural-network-driven restoration, and immersive VR/AR workshops were tested as tools to enhance pedagogy.
-
Collaboration Across Disciplines:
The project fostered cross-pollination between arts, sciences, and technology, inspiring new ideas for teaching and design.
