This year, we've seen remarkable participation, faced challenges, and celebrated milestones. Let's dive in:

Participant Diversity and Energy

📚 484 Participants

Our community has grown with 484 participants who brought with them a rich tapestry of stories and experiences. These individuals didn't just contribute numbers; they transformed our narrative, bringing a depth that transcends statistics. Their testimonies have been a testament to the power of collective learning.

More Than Just Learning

Chasing Knowledge Amidst Adversity

Our journey was about more than just academic pursuit. In a year marred by conflict, our courses became a refuge for many. Approximately half of our feedback revealed a poignant reality: our platform has been a source of distraction and solace for those affected by the terrors of war in Ukraine, Israel and Gaza.

Adapting to Changing Times

💻 235 Zoom Sessions, 500 Hours of Learning

This year, our adaptability shone through 235 Zoom sessions encompassing 500 hours of learning. These sessions were a testament to our commitment to maintaining connections and fostering a dynamic learning environment, even in the most challenging times.

The AI-Medialist Club

🌐 60 Members Pushing Frontiers

Our AI-Medialist Club, with 60 members, embodies our collective spirit of innovation. The club's paid membership scheme has been crucial in sustaining our efforts, with members' passion and experience driving us towards new frontiers in AI and interdisciplinary research.

Evolving Leadership

👩🏫 8 New Instructors

The year also saw the growth of our team with 8 new instructors, many of whom began as students. This evolution highlights the journey of learning and leadership at our school, grounded in the principles of Kaospilot.

Celebrating Creativity

🖼 12 Student Exhibitions

Each of the 12 student exhibitions this year showcased the creativity and innovation fostered at Prague School Media. These exhibitions were a reflection of the remarkable talents and vision of our students.

A Note for Educators

The Challenges Behind the Success

In our pursuit of exploring new terrains in AI and media, we've faced significant challenges, notably the increasing production costs and the insatiable curiosity that drives us. While we've sustained our project, thriving has been a challenge, and for this perseverance, we extend our deepest gratitude to everyone involved.

A Year of Growth, Learning, and Community

As we conclude this incredible year, we invite you to visit our hall of fame, showcasing the final projects and exhibitions of our talented students. This year has been about growth, learning, and the strength of our community. We look forward to continuing this journey together.
