Webinar: Applied AI in Education

How should education prepare our students for a world beyond AI chatbots, where embedded AI impacts every career field? Where real systems gather data, make decisions and improve over time?

Every STEM and Career & Technical Education program should be teaching applied AI, and we'll show you how. 

Hear how a K–12 district built a hands-on emerging technology model that gives students repeated exposure to applied AI through authentic projects, modern equipment, and open-lab learning, and scaled it to reach hundreds of students each week. Students are working across robotics and mechatronics, 3D design and fabrication, autonomous mobile robots, self-driving cars, drones, and programming. You’ll walk away with a clear, proven approach you can adapt to implement these same kinds of experiences in your own district.

Plus, you'll also learn what a successful district-level approach looks like for AI instruction and learner development: how leaders build shared expectations, teacher capacity, and a coherent progression for students across grade levels and programs.
