What This Is
This AI session ends with something you actually built.
Spend three hours building real tools with Google Gemini, side by side with educators. Join us in Orlando or participate online from anywhere.
Practitioner-led, hands-on, no fluff
Built around what you're navigating right now
Come with a problem worth solving and a laptop

love to make easier.
Educators

Instructional Coaches
Coaches who want a real workflow to model and share back with the teachers they support.
School Leaders

What You'll Walk Away With

Not just notes.
A working AI tool

Practical prompting moves
Repeatable prompting and design strategies you can use long after the session ends.

Plug into a wider community of educators doing this work together, year-round.
