SS25-0421 From Playgrounds to Programming: Exploring AI in Early Childhood

Stillwater | Available (Membership Required)

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the landscape of education, but what does this mean for our youngest learners? In this engaging session, we will explore how AI can be used as a tool to support early childhood educators, families and children in ways that enhance—not replace—human interaction. From personalized learning experiences to language development and classroom management, AI offers exciting possibilities, but it also presents challenges, including ethical considerations, misinformation, and the need for digital literacy. Drawing on real-world examples and thoughtful discussion, we’ll examine how AI can empower educators while maintaining the essential elements of play, creativity and social-emotional learning in early childhood. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop or iPad to engage in hands-on experiences with AI tools and explore their potential in early learning settings. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about the future of education and how today’s technological advances can be harnessed for meaningful, developmentally appropriate learning experiences.
