SUMMARY:The AI Toolbox: Creating\, Designing\, and Prototyping your Challenge Project
DESCRIPTION:You’ve defined a real problem and learned the basics of prompting. Now\, it’s time to bring your ideas to life! \nJoin us for a guided tour of the best\, most accessible AI tools available today for students and educators. \nIn this action-packed\, 1-hour session built for the Illinois AI Challenge\, we’ll explore how to combine Google Gemini & Google AI Studio (teachers only)\, Copilot\, Canva\, and MagicSchool to research\, design\, and prototype your competition submission. See how these tools work together to take your team’s concept from a blank page to a polished project pitch! \n— \nThis is part of a professional learning series to support participants of the Illinois AI Challenge. However\, participation is open to all educators.

SUMMARY:Less Friction\, More Learning: Streamlining Digital Resources for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Multiple tools\, multiple grade levels\, endless tabs open. Sound familiar? Managing a modern K-12 tech stack shouldn’t require a computer science degree for parents or a 24/7 help desk for instructional coaches. \nThere is a better way – one with less friction and more time focused on teaching. In this fast-paced webinar\, we’ll share proven strategies to connect your favorite edtech tools into seamless\, predictable workflows. \nWhether you’re looking to fix district-wide communication or help coaches support classroom teachers\, you’ll walk away with actionable ideas you can implement immediately. \nWhat You’ll Learn: \n\nThe Connected Stack: how to make different tools work together instead of competing for attention\nBulletproof Workflows: real-world examples of resource hubs that survive the test of a busy school year\nOnboarding Strategies: tips for getting students and parents fluent in your digital routines quickly\n\nIllinois educators who register here and attend live through Streamyard can earn 1.0 PD credit.

SUMMARY:Closing the Loop: Human-Centered Feedback\, Accessibility\, and Final Polish
DESCRIPTION:You’ve built a prototype. Now\, it’s time to see how real people actually use it! \nIn this final Illinois AI Challenge workshop\, we come full circle back to Human-Centered Design (HCD) to focus on user testing\, incorporating feedback\, and making sure your AI solution works for everyone. \nGreat projects aren’t finished on the first try; they grow stronger through iteration. In this 1-hour interactive session\, student teams and teachers will learn how to run quick\, insightful user tests\, gather meaningful feedback\, and embed accessibility into every layer of their final submission. \nLearn how to turn critique into your project’s greatest strength before you pitch to the judges! \n— \nThis is part of a professional learning series to support participants of the Illinois AI Challenge. However\, participation is open to all educators.

SUMMARY:Build AI Routines You'll Actually Use Again
DESCRIPTION:AI can save you real time\, but only if it actually fits into your day. Too often\, educators try AI once\, get a decent result\, and then start from scratch the next time they need it. It’s time to break that unproductive cycle. \nJoin us as we build simple\, repeatable AI routines you can use again and again\, without reinventing the wheel every time. \nYou’ll walk away knowing how to: \n\nCreate quick AI routines for tasks you already do\nSave time on planning\, communication\, and creating materials\nBuild a handful of go-to prompts you can reuse all year long\n\nIllinois educators who register here and attend live through Streamyard can earn 1.0 PD credit.
