About

Moritz Kreinsen is a researcher at the intersection of computer science education and artificial intelligence literacy, focusing on how young learners conceptualize and engage with emerging technologies. His work investigates students' mental models of AI, exploring how they draw, describe, and understand intelligent systems in educational contexts. Kreinsen’s most-cited paper, "Draw, Find, and Describe AI for Me: Investigating Learners' Conceptions of Artificial Intelligence" (2024), has garnered 5 citations and provides foundational insights into how school students perceive AI technologies that increasingly shape their daily lives. This study is notable for its innovative methodological approach, combining visual and verbal elicitation techniques to capture nuanced student conceptions. Kreinsen’s contributions are particularly timely as AI literacy becomes a critical component of K-12 education, and his research helps inform curriculum design and pedagogical strategies for teaching about AI. By bridging computer science education with cognitive and social perspectives, Kreinsen is helping to define how we prepare the next generation to critically understand and interact with AI systems.
