There’s a lot of talk about AI in education today — too much if it by folks trying to make a quick buck peddling “sit ’n git” PD or colorful infographics.

We know that you are interested in substance and inspiration. We also know you are capable of sharing complex learning adventures with students of all ages. That’s why we’re working hard to help educators embrace AI as a means to enrich educational experiences, amplify human potential, and inform our decisions about inventing the future of education.

Here are three things clever, creative, curious, and competent educators, such as yourself, can do to make sense of AI while maintaining agency over an increasingly complex and technologically sophisticated world.

1. READ—Read Gary Stager’s short essay looking at the development of AI in education through a constructive lens. In this short article, Gary explores the deep roots that a learning-by-doing approach shares with the history of artificial intelligence, Piaget, and progressive ideals.
   ​
2. LEARN—Join Jaymes Dec and Gary Stager for an exciting hands-on workshop, Creative Computation and AI. Participants will develop understanding of powerful computational AI concepts and inform classroom practice where learners are in the driver’s seat. Jaymes and Gary have designed a full day of hands-on activities to bring classroom-tested powerful ideas to life for students and teachers alike. This workshop takes place the day before Constructing Modern Knowledge, on July 8, 2024.
   ​
3. DO—Attend Constructing Modern Knowledge 2024 where you can design, build, and program intelligent machines and develop computational fluency with our remarkable faculty and interact with one of the architects of the modern AI revolution, Dr. Stephen Wolfram.

Hope to see you there! Please share this with your friends and colleagues. 😃
