9:30AM | Welcome & Opening Remarks
Track A - Elementary K-5 (9:30 am-11:30 am):
Session 1 | Exploring Robotics Through Aviation
Students will explore the exciting world of robotics through hands-on activities at the Museum of Aviation. They’ll learn how robots move, follow instructions, and help solve problems in aviation and everyday life—while building teamwork, creativity, and early STEM skills.
Session 2 | AI in Action: How AI thinks, Learns, and helps us
Students will go beyond “what is AI” to explore how artificial intelligence works. Through fun examples, demonstrations, and interactive questions, students will learn how AI learns from data, makes decisions, and shows up in everyday tools like games, apps, and smart devices. The session also introduces how AI connects to STEM skills and future careers—empowering students to see themselves as creators, not just users, of technology.
Session 3 | STEM Takes Flight: Hands-On Aviation Exploration
Explore the science, technology, engineering, arts, and math behind flight and aviation through hands-on, interactive activities at the Museum of Aviation. Students will discover how innovation, creativity, and real-world problem-solving come together in aerospace and aviation careers.
Track B – Professional Development for Teachers (11:30 am-12:00 pm)
AI in the Classroom: Practical Ways to Integrate AI into Your Classroom
Join us for a 30-minute lunch & learn designed just for teachers. This interactive session will introduce practical, classroom-ready ways to integrate AI into daily instruction. We’ll cover simple tools, example activities, and best practices for using AI to support student engagement, differentiation, and STEM learning—no technical background required. Come with your questions and leave with ideas you can use right away.
Track C: Middle & High School 6–12 (12:00 pm - 2:00 pm)
Session 1 | AI & Cybersecurity: How Does AI Protect Data Centers and Stop Hackers?
Students will learn how artificial intelligence helps protect data centers—the places where information is stored and shared—from hackers and cyber threats. This session shows how AI can detect risks, stop attacks, and safeguard digital information, while introducing exciting careers in cybersecurity, AI, and data center technology.
Session 2 | STEM Career Spotlight (30min): Where STEM Can take you (High school) –
Curious about what a career in STEM really looks like? This fast-paced career spotlight features professionals from technology, AI, and data center fields who share their journeys from high school to the workforce. Panelists will highlight different pathways into STEM—including college, certifications, internships, and apprenticeships—while offering real-world insight, practical advice, and inspiration to help students start planning their STEM future.
Session 3 | Make Music Count: Turning Math into Music
Experience a hands-on demonstration of integrating music into math learning. In this workshop, we will use the app Make Music Count that teaches math lessons by learning how to play your favorite songs on the piano. You’ll see how 6th -12th-grade students are able to increase their engagement and performance in math while also immediately playing their favorite songs on the piano, even if they’ve never played an instrument before. In this workshop, math is made fun, and music is made easy.
Track D: Post Webinar Workshop: (4:00 pm - 5:00 pm)
AI in Hiring: What Job Seekers Need to Know - This interactive workshop is designed for college students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals interested in STEM, technology, and data-driven careers. Participants will engage in a hands-on session exploring how AI tools are used in resume building, interview preparation, and career exploration, especially for roles in data, analytics, AI, and technology. A guest speaker will share real-world insight into how organizations use AI and data in hiring and recruitment decisions, followed by a live Q&A.
