2024 Education + AI Summit Attendees

The Second Annual Education + AI Summit

for Vermont Educators, PreK - College
Saturday, June 28

Over this past year, we’ve collaborated with hundreds of educators and community members to respond to the rapidly changing technological environment brought on by artificial intelligence. At every step we’ve explored ways to use AI safely, ethically, and meaningfully in our schools, offices, and homes. Participants in our events have grown increasingly confident in making informed decisions about harnessing AI to augment teaching and learning.

Summit 2.0 is Raising the Bar

MORNING

We’ll begin by laying the groundwork for deeper conversations about the use of artificial intelligence in our culture and in our schools through:

  • Reflecting on the past year of AI developments and challenges

  • Interviewing students and leaders on artificial intelligence in education

  • Modeling dialogues about the ethics of AI use

  • Hands on practice with new AI applications

AFTERNOON

Tailor your professional development by selecting breakout session discussions focused on:

  • Content Area Clusters (arts, humanities, CTE and STEM)

  • Student Services Applications (mental health, personalizing learning, academic support)

  • Professional Responsibilities (content generation, planning, and leadership and guidelines)

Join us to advance your understanding, sharpen your skills, and transform the way you leverage AI in education.

Please note that aiVermont is a nonprofit organization. Our team dedicates hundreds of volunteer hours to planning and partnering in order to make this initiative meaningful for all Vermonters. To help cover the costs of these workshops and secure limited spots, we charge a modest fee of $45. That said, we are committed to ensuring that our events remain accessible to everyone. If your district cannot provide professional development funding, or if the fee presents a financial barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us for assistance. We are happy to help.
