About AI Connections

AI Connections is a collaborative workshop grounded in shared values of curiosity, creativity, and ethical leadership. It brings together independent school leaders and Denison educators to explore the opportunities and tensions AI introduces across educational settings, co-create mission-aligned resources for classrooms and communities, and strengthen pathways between K–12 and the liberal arts so students are prepared for a rapidly changing world. Together, we’ll build a network of educators committed to helping young people become discerning, capable, and confident learners in the age of AI.

Testimonials From Our AI Program Participants

Needless to say, the event did not disappoint. It was, in fact, one of the best professional development programs that I have attended. The content was incredibly well organized and delivered, while being pitched with enthusiasm, attention to detail, and a creative variety of activities.

Harnessing all this brain power and years of experience- wow! I imagine this is what it’s like to work in a think tank. It was truly amazing.

I gathered both actionable ideas that I can execute on immediately and over the long term at both an individual and institutional level. I will be able to share out these ideas at various levels with the departments and AI teams I collaborate with.
