Exposing students to AI and industry related skills via OpenLab High School – Industry – University partnership

Partnership of schools, both high schools and universities, and industry is a much discussed topic nowadays with many emerging platforms and initiatives. OpenLab is one of the initiatives trying to connect high schools and industry to provide better, work oriented knowledge and skills for students in Slovakia. To do so, OpenLab is creating labs at high schools with the backing of industry leaders. In this article, we highlight one of the labs - Siemens Healthineers sponsored AI lab in Kosice. We also expand the idea and suggest the way OpenLab could help to ease the transition from high school to university and draw parallels between OpenLab backed high school education and university education.
