Overview

Is AI a threat to education or its greatest new tool? Join the Yarra Ranges Tech School for a look at how we are harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence to foster student agency and supercharge STEM learning. This presentation moves beyond fear and explores how to thoughtfully integrate AI into the classroom to help students and teachers thrive. We will explore our hands-on programs that introduce students to the fundamentals of AI through engaging activities in programming, robotics, design, and home automation. Discover how we provide clear instructions and expectations that empower students to use AI platforms as a powerful tool to accelerate their own learning and creativity. In this session, we will dive into practical examples, including: • A case study on how we developed our home automation program and how students use AI to design and automate their own homes. • Strategies for using AI to drive student entrepreneurship and innovation. • An overview of how our teachers leverage AI to rapidly develop new learning experiences and enhance their own practice.
