In this workshop, students will gain hands-on experience participating in and designing STEAM activities involving coding and generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools. For the hands-on STEAM challenge, students will explore Scratch, a free, online creative coding tool. They will also be introduced to generative AI tools that can be used for art-making, coding, and support during problem-solving. They will be provided with additional resources and ideas for activities they might facilitate in their classrooms. Students should bring a laptop for this session, as it will be needed for the hands-on STEAM activities.
