2026 AI Educator Summer Institute
The inaugural A.I. Educator Summer Institute begins on July 13, 2026! 
Monday, July 13
 

10:45am EDT

Source Code Session #4: Integrating AI into Applied Mathematical Problem Solving
LIMITED
Monday July 13, 2026 10:45am - 12:00pm EDT
SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics Building (GSSM)
Limited Capacity seats available
*This is a cohort session. Following one morning session on Monday, July 13, this group will meet every afternoon to continue its exploration and learning as a cohort.*

AI models—such as Google Gemini, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude, etc. — offer teachers the opportunity to quickly review and research standard mathematics topics taught in high school and college courses.  In this session, participants will have the opportunity to compare classical solution methods with AI-generated solutions, and in the process educators will gain a deeper understanding of the relative strengths of each of these approaches.  The session will illustrate how AI resources can be useful as collaborative partners, offering inspiration for new methodologies, suggesting generalizations, and identifying similar problems to enrich the learning process.

Expansion Pack Session #7X (Part 1): How to get students to think critically about AI
LIMITED

In the Afternoon Workshop we will provide:1. An interactive session to help participants adapt the materials of one CyberEd module (again, likely the AI bias module) for their own classroom use;2. A presentation of our new AI tool that visualizes students' own online data and how AI makes inferences about that data;3. A brainstorm session about how we can build a new education module around this tool (providing a preview of the "CyberEd 2.0" project).

As teachers, we get why our lessons about data are important, but do our students? Let's explore ideas that help students become more engaged in lessons about data and help them find relevance in what they are studying.

Workshop time will be structured by providing teachers with options for how to use the workshop time productively. The three main options teachers will be directed towards will be reworking existing problems in their own materials, creating their own progression of lessons following the same sequence from their curriculum, or developing a student driven/student centered data unit. Teachers will be able to determine their own starting ppoint and move flexibly among these outcomes. Collaboration with grade level peers and school based teams will be encouraged, but not required.

Among the additional resources teachers will be encouraged to use are CODAP, PHet, Pudding.cool, and https://www.datascience4everyone.org/datasets

Expansion Pack Session #15X (Part 1): AI as a Thinking Partner: Teaching Students to Question, Not Copy
LIMITED

SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics Building (GSSM)
Limited Capacity seats available
The afternoon workshop will function as a hands-on design lab where participants adapt the ideas from the morning session into a classroom-ready resource. We will begin with a brief recap and discussion of how students may already be using AI as a shortcut, then examine sample resources such as AI comparison activities, verification checklists, reflection prompts, and student-facing protocols. These examples will be explored collaboratively, with attention to how they can be adapted across grade levels.

Participants will then select an existing lesson, assignment, problem set, lab, or project and redesign it to include structured, responsible AI use. Most of the workshop will be devoted to creation, peer feedback, revision, and facilitator support. Participants will focus on questions such as what students should do before using AI, how they should evaluate AI output, and what evidence they should use to justify agreement or disagreement. The workshop will culminate with participants sharing an adapted resource or implementation plan they can use when they return to school.

Source Code Session #23: Lean Into AI: Machine Verified Mathematics
LIMITED

SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics Building (GSSM)
Limited Capacity seats available
If you ask an LLM to do mathematics, how does it know what is "correct"? Although models have been improving, they still sometimes make mistakes, especially in the "harder" sciences like mathematics. And yet, prominent mathematicians such as Terry Tao are vocally advocating for the use of AI in their research and have been publishing machine assisted proofs. Why do renowned experts like Dr. Tao trust AI, how can the AI help with research, and what does this have to do with high school students? The answer to all of this is strongly related to interactive proof assistant languages like Lean, which have existed prior to the current LLM boom. This session will cover some of the basics and describe how GSSM has used Lean to create research opportunities in mathematics that are accessible for gifted high school students.
