{"id":52196,"title":"Ayuda en Acci\u00f3n and the OAS launch a hackathon to promote best practices in education using artificial intelligence","type":"actualidad","template":"","content":"Ayuda en Acci\u00f3n, together with the Organization of American States (OAS), is launching the AI\u00a0 in Education Hackathon<\/a>. This is a regional initiative aimed at teachers, educational institutions, and civil society organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean. Through this initiative, we seek to identify, share, and strengthen experiences that integrate artificial intelligence in a pedagogically sound, ethical, and inclusive manner.\r\n\r\nThe initiative is part of the work we at Ayuda en Acci\u00f3n are carrying out on artificial intelligence, youth employability, and inclusion<\/strong>, with a special focus on the most vulnerable communities. From this perspective, we encourage technological transformation to expand educational and employment opportunities, rather than exacerbate inequalities. This work connects knowledge generation with concrete solutions and real-world applications in Spain and Latin America.\r\n

Artificial Intelligence for a more inclusive education<\/h2>\r\nThe AI in Education hackathon was created as a regional space for gathering, learning, and collective creation regarding the use of artificial intelligence in education. Its purpose is to promote solutions to real problems in the educational field and generate shared knowledge<\/strong> that can guide new practices in the region.\r\n\r\nWhile some discourse focuses solely on the risks or is overly complacent, at Ayuda en Acci\u00f3n we believe that artificial intelligence can open up new opportunities<\/strong> for education, vocational training, and employment\u2014provided it is used with ethical standards, a critical eye, and attention to existing inequalities.\r\n\r\nArtificial intelligence can become a key tool for expanding educational and employment opportunities, especially for vulnerable youth<\/strong>. For this reason, we support this initiative as an opportunity to promote an inclusive and pedagogical use of AI, strengthen teaching capacities, and bring educational innovation to those who need it most. In a context of rapid technological transformation, at Ayuda en Acci\u00f3n we are committed to promoting the responsible, inclusive, and learning-oriented integration of AI into education.\r\n\r\nThe ultimate goal of this type of collaboration is for technology to help reduce gaps\u2014not widen them\u2014and to facilitate smoother transitions for young people into the labor market.","excerpt":"","slug":"hackaton-ia-educacion","image":{"alt":"Poster for the AI in Education Hackathon, organised by Ayuda en Acci\u00f3n in partnership with the OAS","caption":"","height":1440,"src":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Hackaton_linkedIn_ing-150x113.webp","small":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Hackaton_linkedIn_ing-480x360.webp","medium":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Hackaton_linkedIn_ing-1024x768.webp","large":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Hackaton_linkedIn_ing.webp","original":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Hackaton_linkedIn_ing.webp"},"width":1920},"date":"2026-09-15 11:35:31","":{"actualidad_description_image":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualidad\/52196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualidad"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/actualidad"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ayudaenaccion.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
