Join 150+ visionary educators for three transformative days exploring why curiosity isn't just a teaching strategy. It's the cornerstone of ethical leadership, deep learning, and human connection in the age of technology.Discover how to lead with wonder, design for discovery, and use AI as your assistant (never your replacement) in creating classrooms where students think, question, and grow.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━WHY ATTENDSpark Curiosity EDU 2026 is designed for educators who believe learning should begin with wonder, not worksheets. In a world increasingly automated, the human capacity to question, imagine, and connect is our superpower. You'll leave with frameworks for designing curiosity-driven learning experiences, practical strategies for fostering authentic inquiry, and yes smart ways to use AI as your teaching assistant. But make no mistake: YOU are the spark. Technology is just the kindling.WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCEDesign Learning That Starts With WonderWalk away with the Spark Curiosity framework for transforming any standard into a question worth exploring with or without technologyLead Inquiry That Transforms TeamsLearn to facilitate curiosity-driven collaboration that deepens thinking, strengthens relationships, and creates lasting instructional changeNavigate Technology With HumanityDevelop a decision-making framework for using AI tools ethically and effectively while keeping the human experience at the centerWHY 2026 IS A CRITICAL INFLECTION POINTFor years, Kampus Insights has helped thousands of educators ignite student engagement through curiosity-driven instruction. But 2026 marks a critical moment: as AI reshapes what's possible in education, the ability to spark genuine wonder, ask powerful questions, and create human connection is more vital than ever.Spark Curiosity EDU 2026 is not another conference about AI tools. It's a conference about TEACHING: the kind of teaching that makes students sit forward, ask questions, and fall in love with learning. The kind that transforms classrooms into communities of inquiry. The kind that can't be automated, replicated, or replaced by any algorithm.Yes, we'll show you how AI can support your work. But only as your assistant, never your replacement. Because in a world where machines can generate content instantly, the uniquely human work of sparking curiosity, building relationships, and designing transformative learning experiences becomes our greatest strength.This year, curiosity isn't just strategy. It's survival. Wonder isn't optional. It's essential. And educators aren't being replaced. They're being elevated to do the work that matters most: igniting the human spark that no technology can replicate.CONFERENCE TRACKS: THREE PATHWAYS, ONE TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCESpark ClassroomFor teachers who want to design learning experiences that begin with wonder, not content delivery.
