Episode 24 of Voice in Education welcomes Dr. Justin Aglio of the Montour School District shares about their school district's passion and pathways for teaching Artificial Intelligence to their students.

The push for maker spaces in schools was fueled by fear of not knowing what future jobs will be.

What other ways should we prepare learners who don't show an interest in coding or making?
