More than 100 elementary and intermediate students filled the Harrison and Helen Miyahira STEM Center at Maui High School on Jan. 24 for a robotics competition that showcased just how quickly artificial intelligence has evolved.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI is so much bigger for these kids now than it was when we were their age,\u201d said Guiwa, who also uses the tools of AI to help him in programming, mathematics and English.<\/p>\n

Just in the past five years, Guiwa said AI has come a long way fast, enabling him to more quickly and efficiently tackle the specifics and pursue the complexity of projects. \u201cAI is able to give me that feedback that I\u00a0couldn\u2019t see for myself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The AI explosion has changed nearly everything in education, revolutionizing the way things now are taught, the way students can augment and speed up their learning process, and even how teachers operate, said Keith Imada, who teaches STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) at Maui High.<\/p>\n

The 62-year-old Imada, who also teaches physics, computer science and engineering on the Kahului campus, said it also is a learning process for teachers, who are trying to keep up with the ever-evolving technology.<\/p>\n

Imada said he is still learning and developing precisely how to use AI in his classes, but it is a technology that he knows students have discovered and will definitely be using, so he is integrating it into his lesson plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the engineering design process, one of the most important\u00a0things at the beginning, besides identifying the problem, is doing the research in order\u00a0to come up with a probable solution,\u201d Imada said. \u201c(The students) have AI editors that can help you identify areas of weakness, and it even\u00a0selects things that you can practice. So, in that way, it\u2019s a big help.\u201d<\/p>\n
