These sessions are part of the Dreamery Speaker Series at Penn State University.

During his talk, Watson will discuss the rapid changes AI has brought to learning and working environments. He will highlight the need for educational institutions to adapt and embrace AI as a vital part of the curriculum rather than trying to limit its influence. His insights will be drawn from his upcoming book, which explores practical strategies for incorporating AI into teaching practices.

In addition to the keynote, Watson will lead a hands-on workshop aimed at educators interested in using AI tools in their courses. Participants will explore various AI technologies and learn how to design assignments that not only meet educational goals but also help students develop essential AI skills. This workshop will provide a collaborative space for educators to rethink their teaching methods in light of AI advancements.
