AI Exchange: Empowering Educators for Tomorrow

Creating is one of the most human things we do—a way of expressing ourselves, making sense of ideas, and connecting with one another. Our creating, and what we learn from it, are deepened when supported by others, whether as guides, collaborators, audiences, or critics. Generative AI is radically reshaping what we can create and how, inviting timely questions about the social dimension of creating. In this session, we'll explore these questions through examples from my research and teaching—from kids creating interactive media in community with Scratch, to students using AI in self-directed projects, to a new course on vibe coding—accompanied by hands-on activities.
