In the article “GWU Professor Shows How Jupyter AI Accelerates the Creation of Educational Content,” IBL News detailed Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Lorena Barba's keynote speech at PyCon Columbia 2024. Her keynote, “Transforming Engineering Education with Jupyter AI,” covered how Jupyter AI can be used to automatically generate course learning objectives for engineering courses.

Here is an excerpt from the article: “Perhaps the most exciting part was using Jupyter AI’s “/generate” command to create a raw Jupyter notebook tutorial for a specific course. Through an iterative process of explanation, refinement, and expansion using the AI chat interface, I transformed the notebook into a polished 11-page lab activity on vibration analysis. A task that would typically take perhaps a week was completed in just 2.5 hours with AI assistance,” she added.
