ACTE's Region II Conference 2026
Thursday September 10, 2026 8:45am - 9:30am EDT
Artificial Intelligence can feel complex, but it doesn’t have to be. This interactive session shows educators how to teach foundational AI concepts using simple, engaging activities like food analogies, chatbot simulations, and Mad Lib-style language modeling.


Participants will experience hands-on strategies that make abstract AI concepts—such as machine learning, training data, bias, and large language models—accessible to all students, regardless of grade level or technical background. These activities are designed to work in both technology-rich and unplugged environments, making them ideal for diverse classrooms.


In addition to instructional strategies, this session addresses ethical considerations including bias, accuracy, and responsible AI use. Educators will leave with ready-to-use lessons that increase student engagement while building critical thinking skills needed for an AI-driven world.
