Montour School District: America's First Public School AI Program

You are likely familiar with how quickly AI will soon begin to shape our classrooms. This has been the guiding idea behind a new initiative in my district that we are very excited to announce. Beginning in the fall of 2018, Montour School District will offer a new program in artificial intelligence (AI), providing students with a myriad of opportunities to explore and experience AI, using it to cultivate, nurture, and enhance initiatives aimed at increasing the public good. The new program, Montour AI, will be housed at David E. Williams Middle School. Just as AI hinges on the data collected, Montour AI's success will hinge on a collection of shared stakeholders including higher education scholars, community leaders, business executives, parents, and students.
