Overview of program
AI Explorations and Their Practical Use in School Environments© is an ISTE professional learning program funded by General Motors that cultivates future AI programmers and provides professional learning for educators to support student-driven AI explorations. Our goals are to:
Create scalable, best-in-class professional learning experiences for educators that can spread the knowledge of a variety of approaches to using artificial intelligence (AI) in classrooms
Cultivate student driven AI explorations and practical use in school environments
Draw underrepresented student populations who might otherwise never consider AI as relevant to them to explore interdisciplinary associated careers.
Develop an AI teacher and students coaching and mentorship network with the active participation of AI experts from corporate R&D teams, STEM higher education faculty and K-12 subject matter experts.

The project is made possible through a collaboration between ISTE and General Motors.
