Track 5: Intelligent Teaching Assistant in Programming Education

Track leader at TU Delft: Gosia Migut
Track leader at JetBrains: Anastasia Birillo

This track aims to develop an intelligent, AI-powered teaching assistant that provides personalized, context-aware support for programming education while stimulating knowledge transfer. We will focus on different aspects of AI context-aware support, from improving complex code generation from natural language, through RAG supported automatic hints generation, to methaphor-based explanation of concepts and generation of personalized teaching materials. All to improve students learning experince and efficacy in achiving learning objectives.
