In this workshop, you will join members of the STEMteachersNYC AI Working Group in a hands-on session that brings together the best AI tools from active classroom practitioners. If you are interested in developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) skillset to augment learning and engagement in your classroom, then this workshop is perfect for you. You will explore practical applications of generative AI, and work collaboratively through guided exercises to identify and develop your own AI-powered solutions. These could include creating custom inquiry-based activities, designing differentiated instruction and assessment tools, and automating routine tasks. Leave the session with ready-to-implement AI strategies and resources that will transform your science classroom!

What to Expect:

• Explore current AI tools through use case studies specifically relevant to your classroom
• Share classroom challenges to help tailor the session to relevant needs
• Work in small groups to create new tools to address needs such as lab design, student feedback, and data analysis
• Develop a prototype solution addressing your specific classroom challenge
• Receive a curated resource guide with effective prompts, tool recommendations, and best practices

Workshop Goals:

• Build confidence using AI tools to enhance your science instruction
• Develop practical skills for leveraging AI to create differentiated science learning experiences
• Create at least one classroom-ready AI workflow or prompt sequence to address a specific teaching need
• Join and build a community of practice for ongoing collaboration and AI implementation support
• Incorporate ethical considerations and best practices for responsible AI use in your science classroom

Members find out about workshops first and can sign up before others.

Please note: We take screenshots, photographs and record video of our workshops in order to publicize a positive image of science teaching, and of STEMteachersNYC – a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization – and to support future teacher leaders. If you register, you are agreeing to be photographed and to have your voice and image video-recorded. You are also agreeing to relinquish all your rights to the photographs and video recordings.

If you do not wish to be photographed or video-recorded – you must inform us before the workshop starts. For in-person workshops, we will take one photograph of your face so that we can erase your image if we happen to catch it by chance during the workshop, and we will do our best to avoid you. We would also appreciate your cooperation in positioning yourself at the edge of the group so as to help us avoid you.
