Human Intelligence Summit

The Human Intelligence Summit

Revolutionize Education in the AI Era

Does your Portrait of a Graduate develop skills that cannot be automated, including Human Intelligence and experiential learning, so students will be competitive in a future where AI and technology will continue to take over jobs?

The Human Intelligence Summit provides a space for stakeholders from across educational service centers, county offices, and BOCES to gather as thought leaders and partners to redesign their educational system for a dynamic, interactive approach to teaching and learning for today and for the future.


The Human Intelligence Summit advocates a shift from knowledge-centric learning to experiential learning. It focuses on the human abilities crucial for the future. These are the pillars of Human Intelligence that unlock students' potential in an AI-driven world.


* Creative Problem-solving

* Critical Thinking

* Adaptability

* Empathetic Relationship-building

* Effective Communication

* Collaboration


The needs of leaders, teachers, and students are more unique than ever. The Human Intelligence Summit can help you stay ahead of the curve and lead the charge in supporting each learner to be prepared for a future where technology enhances human intelligence in the workforce and beyond.

Global Student Showcase 2024

We absolutely love celebrating classrooms and school communities who #UseTech4Good and we hope you'll join us again this April.

The very best part of the Global Student Showcase last April was celebrating inside classrooms! One of my favorite moments was seeing the chat so active during a session in Argentina because the parents and grandparents were participating, celebrating, and also learning. This is exactly what we want to continue to encourage as we plan for this April.


Last year we went live each day at different times to accommodate different regions/time zones which was a wonderful way to make the showcase a global learning experience. This year, we will partner with host schools to build upon what we started last year as a way to also provide an active audience (based on regions and times zones). We have already partnered with one of our model schools in Australia who will host a day for other classrooms in that time zone to participate and celebrate the Global Student Showcase.


If interested in being a host school/classroom, let us know as we build the schedule for April. Thank you again for all that you do to inspire and empower others to #UseTech4Good!


Here are the links you need to join us in April:
