From the Stage to the Stars: A New Script for STEM
From pageants to rocket science, today’s STEM leaders don’t fit the old mold, and that’s the point. As AI reshapes classrooms and student disengagement grows, tired metaphors like train speeds and baseball stats fall flat. This panel uses real-world stories to show how visibility, storytelling, and diverse role models can help more students see themselves in STEM and spark inclusive, innovative outcomes.
Power to the Classroom: Design the Data Ed You Need
The first national K-12 data science learning progressions are here, and now it’s time to bring them to life. This hands-on workshop invites educators to take the lead in shaping the future of data education. Participants will work with facilitators and other education champions to apply the learning progressions in practice and co-design real classroom resources that reflect student needs, teacher expertise, and equity-centered practice. Your ideas will become part of a national push to make data science education accessible, adaptable, and teacher-powered.
Truth, Bias, and Bots: Teaching Digital Citizenship
In an age of AI, algorithmic feeds, and viral misinformation, students need more than internet safety: they need digital literacy skills rooted in justice. This panel brings together leading thinkers and voices from education to explore how we teach students to recognize bias, question systems, and understand the power behind the platforms they use daily. From bots to bias, panelists will share tools and strategies that prepare students to think critically, act responsibly, and engage with technology as informed citizens.
