Reimagining Learning by Building AI Support for Your Context

School leaders and great teachers know how they want to change the learning environment to support their students. But how do you get started? Can AI help? This is a hands-on session that will feature six to 10 stations (depending on space & time). Each station will be managed by a leading educator who has built open-source AI tools that their school now uses. Attendees will build their own tools, either "remixing"(or modifying) an existing app to fit their context, or by building a tool from scratch. We start with real problems; AI is our lever to create the change we want to see.
