Making Sense of the Micro:bit
LIMITED
Wednesday May 27, 2026 8:30am - 9:45am MDT
Limited Capacity seats available
At first glance, the Micro:bit looks like it belongs inside a computer, not in a student’s hands. Yet, it is an approachable, versatile tool that helps learners build foundational coding skills and explore how technology interacts with the real world. In this hands-on session, we’ll begin by exploring the Micro:bit’s components, then use our new knowledge to complete several simple coding projects. Finally, we will employ a Micro:bit to control hardware such as the Finch robot, helping learners understand how coding drives the technology around us.

Responsible AI Foundations
LIMITED
Wednesday May 27, 2026 10:00am - 11:15am MDT
Limited Capacity seats available
This session establishes a foundation for AI in K–12 by building a shared language and a "human-first" mindset. Participants will explore the current AI landscape through collaborative mapping, identifying high-value, low-risk use cases that streamline school workflows while prioritizing data privacy and accuracy.

Attendees will move from theory to action by co-creating responsible use norms and a personalized use-case map. By balancing time-saving automation with critical oversight, participants will leave with the practical tools and ethical frameworks necessary to lead intentional AI integration in their classrooms and offices.

🗺️Accessibility Adventure
LIMITED
Wednesday May 27, 2026 12:30pm - 1:45pm MDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Join us on a learning adventure as we explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and the WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines can help create learning experiences where every student can thrive. Along the way, participants will discover how approved SFPS tools, including Read&Write, can support learners of all abilities, from multilingual students to those with disabilities or those who benefit from additional scaffolds. Through hands-on activities and guided exploration, educators will uncover practical strategies to expand access, boost engagement, and empower students to become more independent explorers in their own learning journey.
