2026 AI Educator Summer Institute
The inaugural A.I. Educator Summer Institute begins on July 13, 2026! 
Thursday July 16, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
This K-12 kickoff session puts your goals at the center. Starting with two guiding questions — What do you want to accomplish? and What do you want to prevent? — we'll explore how MagicSchool can support your real work in the classroom. You'll explore the platform hands-on and leave with a clear sense of where AI fits in your practice.


By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
  1. Articulate at least one personal goal and one boundary they want to set for AI use in their classroom
  2. Navigate the MagicSchool platform and identify tools relevant to their grade level and content area
  3. Apply a purpose-driven framework for evaluating when and how to use AI in their practice
  4. Leave with a concrete next step for integrating MagicSchool into an upcoming lesson or workflow
