A Game-Based Competition as Instrument for Teaching Artificial Intelligence

This paper reports about teaching Artificial Intelligence (AI) by applying the experiential approach called “learning by doing”, where traditional, formal teaching is integrated with a practical activity (a game competition, in our case), that is relevant for AI discipline and allows for an active and playful participation of students.
