The Learner's Apprentice: AI and the Amplification of Human Creativity

Sylvia Martinez was an aerospace engineer before
becoming an educational software producer and vice president of a
video game company. She spent a decade as the President of
Generation YES, the groundbreaking non-profit that provides
educators with the tools necessary to place students in
leadership roles in their schools and communities. In addition to
leading workshops, Sylvia delights and challenges audiences as a
keynote speaker at major conferences around the world. She brings
her real-world experience in highly innovative work environments
to learning organizations that wish to change STEM education to
be more inclusive, effective, and engaging.


Sylvia is co-author of Invent To Learn: Making, Tinkering, and
Engineering in the Classroom, often called the “bible” of the
classroom maker movement. She runs the book publishing arm of CMK
Futures, Constructing Modern Knowledge Press, to continue to
publish books about creative education by educators.


Ken Kahn has been interested in Al and education
for 50 years. His 1977 paper "Three interactions between Al and
education" In E. Elcock and D. Michie, editors, Machine
Intelligence 8: Machine Representations of Knowledge may be among
the first publications on the topic. He received his doctorate
from the MIT Al Lab in 1979. He designed and implemented
ToonTalk, a programming language for children that looks and
feels like a video game. He has developed a large collection of
Al programming resources for school students
(https://ecraft2learn.github.io/ai/). He recently retired as a
senior researcher from the University of Oxford.
