This time of novelty and complexity will demand design thinking, relationship skills, and entrepreneurship. This leadership workshop will lead a conversation about what’s going on, what it means, and how educators can prepare for and use AI, blockchain and machine learning.

Designing The Future That We Envision Through Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence has quickly and quietly embedded itself into our everyday life - security, education, social media, politics, agriculture, and more. The future of work, and maybe humanity, will no doubt be impacted by AI. Students are sitting in classrooms across the nation with optimism and a sense of fearlessness through a natural spirit of creativity ready to create a brighter and more inclusive world; as such, our way of thinking must evolve and change. Dr. Justin Aglio will share examples that emphasize how one school has moved beyond change to empower students and teachers to be designers of the future through AI. He will help imagine how human curiosity and creativity combined with artificial intelligence will transform the future.
