Our Team

Welcome to our AI and Gender Toolkit website! We are a team of researchers from La Trobe University and Flinders University. This website, which features an extensive set of curated resources for teachers, school leaders, and parents, is the culmination of our year-long evidence-based research, involving students across the primary and secondary school year levels, and teacher leaders.

Our team brings together expertise in education, gender studies, artificial intelligence, and digital literacies to explore the intersections of AI and gender representation in classrooms. We are committed to supporting educators in fostering critical discussions about AI bias, ethics, and inclusivity. We hope this toolkit serves as a valuable resource in promoting equitable and informed engagement with AI in education. If you have any questions or would like to connect with us, please feel free to reach out.
