AI²: AI in the Classroom
AI² is delighted to announce its second meet-up in the current series titled “AI in the Classroom”. Speaker announcements will be made in advance of the event.
The rapid adoption of generative AI presents schools with more than a technological challenge. It raises fundamental questions about how young people learn, how we recognise and assess their understanding, and whether our existing educational approaches are preparing them for the world they are entering.
Rather than focusing primarily on what AI tools can do, this meet-up will explore what AI is revealing about education itself:
the opportunities for more authentic, creative and student-centred learning
the challenges of protecting independent thinking, agency and meaningful assessment; and
the support teachers and schools need to navigate these changes
Three short provocations, drawing on different perspectives from educational innovation, AI literacy and implementation, will provide starting points for a wider conversation. The emphasis will be on connecting classroom experience with research, policy and practical action, allowing participants to challenge assumptions, share experiences and identify what needs to change.
We are looking to curate an audience comprised of policy makers, academics, teachers and students in the room. Please register your interest to attend using the “register now” button and we will do our very best to accommodate your request.
