They are mentors, leaders, and partners in inspiring each child to learn and grow to their greatest abilities – becoming contributing members of society. Listen to three stories of Allyship across distinct communities from a panel of distinguished HGSE alumni. Graduates from this renowned destination for teaching excellence will share their own stories and insights of success in creating models for community engagement and allyship. We hope you will join us in allyship and celebration for the observance of National Teacher Appreciation Day on May 7th.

Please join us for an engaging, interactive, and entertaining discussion about how Prof. Malan and his team have created and are using AI as a personal tutor for his students.  Prof. Malan teaches CS50 which has more than 800 in-person students, and is the most popular class at Harvard.

Using AI as a Personal Tutor

• How do we approximate a 1:1 teacher-to-student ratio through software?

• How can we equip students with a subject-matter expert by their side at all times?

• How can we guide students toward solutions rather than offer solutions outright?

• Please join us for networking, an entertaining presentation, plus an opportunity to ask your own questions!

In Summer 2023 and Fall 2023, Prof. Malan and his team actively tested an AI-powered chatbot, implemented as a virtual rubber duck (a la rubber-duck debugging), developed specifically for CS50.  The CS50 Duck (aka CS50.ai) was first deployed to approximately 70 summer students, then to 1,000's of students online, and finally to approximately 500 on-campus students.  Prof. Malan will discuss the development of CS50.ai, detailing the challenges faced, solutions proposed, and results achieved, all toward realizing a long-held aspiration: a 1:1 teacher-to-student ratio.

Dive into the world of STEM with a linguistic twist through our Talking Bot Activity. In this creative project, you’ll build a bot that records and replays voice messages, using simple circuitry. This activity not only introduces basic electronics but also serves as an innovative tool for language practice.

During this workshop, participants will be introduced to different techniques to introduce Maker-centric learning in the classroom. In addition, they’ll learn:

Simple Circuitry: Understanding and assembling basic electronic components to create a voice recording mechanism.

Interdisciplinary Application: Utilizing the talking bot for language learning, enabling students to practice and hear spoken words.

Classroom Strategies: Tailoring this activity to different educational settings and adapting it to diverse learning needs.

This session is crafted to equip educators with the necessary skills to facilitate an engaging, multidisciplinary learning experience, blending STEM principles with language education.
