Educators Who Build brings together educators who want to build with AI, not only talk about it.
We are open to anyone curious about how to use AI tools to improve their teaching, from complete novices to seasoned experts. The goal is to come together to inspire and support each other as we explore how to use these powerful new tools, and to grow a community among the people using them.
At each session people are on hand to help with everything: getting started with installing and using AI tools, connecting them to campus systems like Canvas, and creating and deploying custom tools for your own teaching.
