This interactive workshop helps middle and high school educators transform foundational AI concepts into practical classroom experiences. Participants will explore selected AI tools through hands-on applications, design student-ready activities, and learn how inviting a guest AI expert can strengthen both conceptual understanding and real-world relevance. The session offers a theory-to-practice model that educators can directly adapt for engaging classroom instruction.
This workshop presents a classroom-ready model for helping middle and high school educators move from foundational AI concepts to direct classroom application. The session begins with a concise conceptual overview of how AI tools can support creativity, critical thinking, and student-centered learning across different subject areas. Participants will then engage in guided hands-on activities using selected AI tools to design student-ready classroom tasks and mini-projects.
A distinctive component of the workshop is the integration of a live guest AI expert, demonstrating how real-world voices from academia or industry can strengthen relevance, increase student motivation, and connect classroom learning with authentic applications. The session concludes with strategies for adapting this theory-to-practice model into participants’ own classrooms through reusable activity structures, guest speaker formats, and age-appropriate AI learning experiences for students ages 11–18.
