Join educators from across the region for an evening of learning and conversation. We’ll screen NOVA’s A.I. Revolution at Nine PBS studios and hear from a panel of experts in a discussion focusing on the use of Artificial Intelligence in education .  

With your help, we will broaden the conversation on the impact of A.I. in schools and ask the questions: 

Should we celebrate?  

Or worry? Or both?  

Discover how researchers are harnessing A.I. to pursue breakthroughs in fields ranging from medicine to climate science—and what these advancements might mean for the future of teaching, learning, and the workforce. 

Join fellow educators and education advocates for a powerful documentary and an insightful dialogue about the promise and challenges of artificial intelligence in our classrooms and beyond. 

PLUS FREE DINNER!!!!

Writing Instruction in the Age of AI

The impact of AI on education is an evolving discussion. Join in!

The session will explore how AI has shifted the foundation of our work with students considering the writing process and the products we ask students to create.
