Not Afraid of AI – Teaching Media Literacy

Using the Example of an Escape Room

How can a complex topic like artificial intelligence be communicated in a playful and innovative way? Students of European Media Studies, a degree programme at the University of Potsdam and Potsdam's University of Applied Sciences, addressed this question - and collaborated with the Media Innovation Center Babelsberg (MIZ) on developing an AI escape room, the AI.CUBE.

What challenges were literally there in the room, what potential does the project offer and what can be deduced from this for the teaching of media literacy?
