K12 educators and administrators from across the Commonwealth are invited to join a dynamic series of AI road shows, designed to foster collaboration by sharing essential knowledge on AI's role in education while actively shaping its integration in Pennsylvania's schools. Through informative presentations, interactive listening sessions, and pre-/post surveys, these events enable attendees to gain practical insights, contribute their valuable perspectives, concerns, and experiences with AI in classrooms and schools, and build a collective understanding of how AI can enhance teaching, learning, and equity across the Commonwealth. In addition, there will be opportunities for networking and access to additional resources for educators’ AI journeys.

Sessions will be led by AI researchers, education policy experts, evaluators, and specialists to ensure a rich, evidence-based dialogue.
