Something you can use on Monday morning

Every stream is hands-on. Choose your path through three workshop blocks, with student expert onsite support available all day.

Logos

The Intelligent Classroom

Curriculum design with AI, assessment in the age of AI, AI-literate students, and subject-specific tools. The ideal entry point for classroom teachers.

Ethos

The Responsible School

AI policy in practice, privacy, ethical use, staff expectations, and managing risk. For leaders, IT directors, and policy-adjacent roles.

Agora

The Connected Community

Communicating AI to families, building community trust, and parent engagement. For anyone who talks to school communities about AI.

Pathos

The Caring School

Student and staff wellbeing in an AI age, pastoral care, burnout, and keeping the human relationship at the centre of teaching.

Gov

EduChat & Government AI

Hands-on with government-built AI tools including EduChat and state equivalents. Teachers from every sector are actively welcome.

Catholic

Catholic Education AI

CEChat in practice, faith-informed approaches to AI ethics, and the values questions Catholic education is uniquely placed to lead.

Independent

Independent School AI Strategy

Briefing boards, communicating with fee-paying families, and building school AI policy without a department to copy.

VET

VET, Senior Secondary & Pathways

Authentic assessment in credentialled contexts, AI in VET delivery, and what AI means for the trades and pathways students are training toward.

Connect

Admin, Support & Operations

AI for the whole school team: front office, EAs, finance, library, labs and facilities. If you work in a school, there is a stream designed for you.

Student Experts

Students teach the teachers

Drop-in tool tables staffed by high school students who are genuinely skilled at AI tools. Sit down, ask anything, and learn from the people who use these tools every day. Available all day, no booking required.

Present, showcase, or bring your students

Present a workshop

We are recruiting facilitators nationally across multiple streams and seven cities. If you are doing real work with AI in a real school, we want educators to learn from you. Sessions are hands-on, 60 to 75 minutes, and facilitators are paid.

Apply to present

Student Partner Schools

Each city needs two to three partner schools to provide student expert onsite support, with Year 9 to 12 AI-capable students. Students receive a formal Educator Intelligence Live Student Expert Certificate and supervising teachers attend free.
