Session description

Genesis Project launched in 2024. For 2025-26, we're implementing AI Studios for elementary grades influenced by students-as-researchers. Groups of students are thoughtfully formed to encourage cross-age mentorship and leadership, especially for 5th graders. This session shares latest successes and dumpster fires, iterating in real time.

Outline

We will present the background and purpose of launching AI studios for elementary levels after a focus on Middle and High School students for the first years of Genesis Project

We will present examples of field notes from collaborative sessions to see behind the scenes of our iterative design and what we learned worked and adjustments we made.

We will present student artifacts that emerged from the studios and students speak to their experience.

Participants will have a template and a chance to fill in specifics to their scenario.

Outcomes

Providing both successes and failures can help attendees develop an action plan specific to the unique needs of their classroom or school, and learn from what worked and what didn't with our iterations.

Participants will have access to our artifacts, including our CS inspired algorithm and "debugging" for the design of AI studios
