Session description

Throughout the 2017-2024 school years, students created digital scavenger hunts, developed an app, made a documentary, and published a children's book using AI. We have found innovative ways to integrate technology including hydroponic apps, AI illustrations, drone pollinator observations, soil monitoring, and Monarch migration tracking.

Outline

Participants will see a running video produced by 4th grade students which provides information on the history of our garden and video footage of our garden pollinators.
Artifacts will be presented including student published books, access to student developed apps, photographs, and other art created by students.
Resources will be provided including linked documents to student and teacher timelines, book layout templates, grant possibilities, student examples, apps and websites.
