How can we leverage AI in ways that amplify student agency, imagination, and deep understanding? In this interactive workshop, we will explore how Maker-Centered Learning can position AI as a tool for creativity, playful exploration, and ethical decision-making.

No prior experience with AI is required—just a willingness to experiment, reflect, and shape a classroom culture where AI supports meaningful, student-driven learning.
