### Current Trends: Fusion of Inquiry-Based Learning and AI Utilization
In the current educational landscape, there is an urgent need to balance 'individually optimized learning' and 'collaborative learning.' Specifically, in 'inquiry-based learning,' where students identify problems and seek solutions themselves, there is a growing demand to use AI (Artificial Intelligence) efficiently and advancedly.
This exhibition offers a first-hand experience of concrete solutions that dramatically improve the quality of inquiry-based learning while reducing the workload on the ground, such as learning personalization through AI and enhanced expression using VR and 3D technologies.
