Teaching for the Future: AI and Creativity in the Classroom

Keynote: Matt Worwood

How future-focused is your classroom? How do you engage students in thinking creatively and envisioning possibilities? And how can artificial intelligence tools help to foster that creativity? Join us for the virtual Taste of Confratute on January 28, 2026, where you’ll discover strategies to help students ask better questions, think critically, and dive into inquiry-based research using AI. You’ll also learn how to use AI tools to spark curiosity, support meaningful research, and open doors to creativity in the classroom. At the same time, you’ll reflect on how to balance the power of technology with human skills like curiosity, originality, and problem-solving.
