CODE313 is partnering with the AI Education Project (aiEDU), Broadcom Foundation and TIES to host the Educator’s STEAM Summit on AI Education.

The summit will feature an overview of the growing imperative for AI education, two expert panels (on AI ethics and policy landscapes), facilitated regional breakout discussions, Q&A with panelists, and closing remarks focused on concrete next steps.
