CS and AI for Everyone: Integrating Computer Science Education and AI Literacy into Everyday Lessons
The keynote explores how computer science (CS) education and artificial intelligence (AI) literacy can be seamlessly integrated into everyday classroom experiences across subjects and grade levels. Grounded in the belief that CS and AI literacy should be accessible and relevant to all learners, the presentation offers practical strategies for culturally responsive integration that honors students’ diverse identities, needs, and lived experiences. It will also highlight inclusive pedagogies, interdisciplinary approaches to CS and AI integration, and classroom practices that empower every student.
