SUMMARY:Diving Deep into Artificial Intelligence: Using STEAM to Foster SEL
DESCRIPTION:STEAM (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, Arts & Mathematics) is an area where many students may not traditionally see themselves; it is crucial to design experiences that increase their self-awareness\, sense of belonging\, and self-efficacy–valuable social and emotional competencies. In this presentation\, which was previously shared during the 2023 Collaborative for Academic\, Social\, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) Annual SEL Exchange in Atlanta\, GA\, the team will share insights from teaching a short course on artificial intelligence. We found that modeling social and emotional learning for students can have a profound effect on their engagement in STEAM activities. \nPresenters: \n\nEmma Korolick\, Director of Curriculum\nDavid Selles\, Senior Director of STEAM\, Design & Educational Technology\nJeremy Taylor\, Ph.D.\, Chief Research & Evaluation Officer\n\nReserve your seat for the Lunch & Learn by Friday\, November 29th. \nLearn more about the Autonomous Robotics Deep Dive \n
