CreateAI

K-12 Students and Teachers as Creators, not just Users, of AI Applications

What if students and teachers weren’t just users of AI—but creators?

This question is at the heart of CreateAI, a workshop where K–12 educators, researchers, and learning scientists explore a future where classrooms become hubs for discovery and where students and teachers build their own AI and machine learning (ML) tools. 

We will tackle key questions such as:

  • How can we integrate transformative approaches to creating AI and ML technologies into classrooms today?

  • What tools, skills, and knowledge will empower students and teachers to build their own AI applications?

  • What new possibilities for learning emerge when students and teachers become innovators and creators?
