PhD in Education and University Lecturer at the Faculty of Education and Psychology, University of Oulu. My research focuses on AI literacy, AI education and the pedagogical use of artificial intelligence, particularly in teacher education and in learning among children and young people. My broader research background includes technology-enhanced learning, collaborative and mobile learning, computational thinking, and maker and STEAM education. I currently work in the Generation AI research programme, combining research, teacher education and approaches for making the principles of artificial intelligence understandable to learners.
