Level Up Academic and CTE Content with AI-Coded Gamification in Minutes

What if you could turn a traditional lesson into a playable learning game in minutes, with no advanced programming experience? This round table discussion explores how educators use AI tools such as Canva, ChatGPT and Gemini to create gamified content, including quizzes, challenges, simulations, review games and skill-based activities that increase engagement and motivation. Participants will discuss practical strategies for using AI to generate code, design visuals, customize activities for different grade levels and subjects, and align content to academic or CTE standards. Real classroom examples show how quickly ideas move from concept to playable experience. The conversation also covers embedding activities in an LMS such as Canvas, making them scoreable, tracking student progress, using performance data to guide instruction and building reusable resources for in-person and online learning. Whether you teach elementary, secondary, CTE or higher education, you will leave ready to pick an existing lesson and turn it into an interactive game-based activity.
