Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming education, but what does it truly mean to be “AI literate” as an educator or student? In this interactive workshop, K–12 educators will move beyond basic awareness to develop a practical understanding of AI concepts, ethical considerations, and classroom applications. Participants will explore how AI works, where it shows up in everyday tools, and how to guide students in using AI responsibly and effectively. Through hands-on activities and real-world examples, you’ll leave with strategies to embed AI literacy into your instruction, regardless of grade level or subject area. No prior AI experience required, just curiosity and a commitment to future-ready learning.
