TK-3 Investigating, Sensemaking, and Communicating Practices in STEM Learning
Friday July 25, 2025 9:40am - 10:40am PDT
Oakgrove
STEM Learning experiences engage young children because they are hands-on, mind-on opportunities to investigate, make sense of the world around them, and communicate discoveries. Teachers will learn strategies to design kinesthetic, "unplugged" pre-coding activities that support learner agency and choice as well as scaffold for computational thinking and later experiences with coding and computer science. Teachers will also learn how to employ STEM notebooks with young children to support their cognitive growth as they engage in the Science & Engineering and Mathematical Practices during their hands-on investigations and explorations.

Build Your Own AI Ethics Agent (No Code!): A Hands-On Workshop for Future-Ready Classrooms
Friday July 25, 2025 12:50pm - 2:20pm PDT
Oakgrove
In this hands-on session, educators will build their own custom AI agents—no coding required—using accessible tools like Custom GPTs, Chatbase, and more. Participants will explore how these tools can be used to teach ethical concepts like bias, misinformation, data privacy, and transparency. Designed to align with the STEAM in AI Ethics Curriculum, this session empowers teachers to transform their classrooms with future-ready, project-based learning. Attendees will leave with ready-to-use lesson plans, implementation guides, and AI tools to bring ethical innovation to their students.
