134 - Jeff Wiener: CERN Science education, gender and connections

Join us for a conversation with Jeff from the CERN Teacher Training Program. We explore the evolving landscape of science education. We'll discuss the interplay between innovative teaching methodologies and the integration of Artificial Intelligence, examining both the challenges and opportunities AI presents in enhancing student engagement and addressing the critical issue of the gender gap in STEM fields. Learn how CERN's teacher and student programs are supporting schools worldwide, shaping a future where education seamlessly integrates with innovation. CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory, welcomes over 10,000 scientists from more than 100 countries each year to utilize its facilities, which boast some of the most sophisticated and complex scientific instruments ever developed.
