Educators Are Taking Action in AI Education to Make Future-Ready Communities

AI Explorations and Their Practical Use in School Environments is an ISTE initiative funded by General Motors. The program provides professional learning opportunities for educators, with the goal of preparing all students for careers with AI. Recently, we spoke with three more participants of the AI Explorations program to learn about its ongoing impact in K-12 classrooms. Here, they share how the program is helping their districts implement AI curriculum with an eye toward equity in the classroom. Monica Rodriguez is a kindergarten teacher with Ector County Independent School District in Odessa, Texas.
