About this event

This NEW live online seminar presented by award-winning science teacher Marquita Blades is an exciting opportunity for grades 6-12 science educators to explore the latest developments in Artificial Intelligence and their specific applications in science education. Experience hands-on activities, demonstrations, and modeling. Engage with other science educators around the potential of AI technologies and their implications for science education. Discover common pitfalls to avoid and solutions to ethical concerns when using AI-powered tools and resources in the science classroom. Explore how to create engaging and differentiated science lessons, develop meaningful and relevant assessments, foster student innovation and critical thinking, improve classroom efficiency, and much more, using AI-powered tools.

Join Marquita for a highly practical day filled with ways to make best use of AI tools to strengthen your science students' learning, streamline grading and assessments, enhance your instruction, and improve your own productivity.

I know firsthand the unique challenges that come with teaching science in today's ever-changing educational landscape. That's why I'm excited to invite you to attend my seminar.

Based on my years of experience as a science educator, I am so excited about the potential of AI tools to transform the way we teach and to transform how our students learn science. I will provide you with highly practical strategies for incorporating AI tools into your science classroom. You'll have the opportunity to connect with other science educators around this important topic, building a community of support and collaboration that will extend beyond the seminar.

We will explore the latest developments in AI and their specific applications in grades 6-12 science education. You'll learn how to create personalized and engaging science lessons, streamline grading and assessments, and foster student innovation and critical thinking through the use of AI-powered tools. Discover potential pitfalls to avoid, ethical considerations involved in the use of AI, and best practices for promoting responsible and ethical use of AI in science education.

It's my goal to provide you with the tools and knowledge you need to harness the power and potential of AI tools as a secondary science educator. You'll gain new skills and knowledge you can apply immediately to strengthen your students' learning and your work as a science teacher. I look forward to meeting you at the seminar!

P.S. We'll be digging directly into AI platforms, so make sure you come with your best energy! You'll walk away with many practical ideas for using AI right away in your science program.
