CTE Meets AI: Bringing Artificial Intelligence to Life Through Hands-On Robotics

Artificial Intelligence is no longer the future—it’s the present, and it belongs in your CTE classroom. In this engaging session, discover how AI can be introduced through robotics and engineering pathways without needing a computer science degree. Learn how to engage students in understanding machine learning, vision sensors, data processing, and real-world problem-solving using a classroom-friendly robotics platform. Participants will explore how hands-on AI learning aligns with career readiness standards, reinforces STEM fundamentals, and prepares students for tomorrow’s high-tech workforce. You’ll see how robotics can be used to teach not only how AI works but why it matters—across pathways like manufacturing, engineering, automation, and information technology.
