Learn with an Architect of the AI Revolution at CMK 2024


Is your school grappling with the implications of AI in education?

Come to the Constructing Modern Knowledge Summer Institute where you will have intimate access to one of the world’s most prominent experts on artificial intelligence, Dr. Stephen Wolfram.

It is impossible to overstate what a big deal this is. Stephen Wolfram literally wrote the book, What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work? (in addition to some of the most important scientific books of the past twenty years). Opportunities like this just don’t exist everywhere.

Constructing Modern Knowledge 2024 offers educators a rare opportunity to learn with Stephen Wolfram, one of the world’s most consequential living mathematicians, scientists, thinkers, and inventors. Not only is Dr. Wolfram a pioneer in building the tools that power AI, but a man deeply committed to making computational fluency accessible to school children.

We are incredibly blessed to be able to share Stephen Wolfram with educators at CMK 2024.

Constructing Modern Knowledge is about learning to learn in an increasingly complex and technologically sophisticated world in ways unimaginable just a few years ago.

This is why our other guest speakers are diverse and equally remarkable.

Each speaks to the creative possibilities within us all.

We hope you join us at the Constructing Modern Knowledge Summer Institute this July. If you have any questions about how this experience will impact you, your school, and the students you serve, please reply to this email!

Co-hosts of the Constructing Modern Knowledge Summer Institute July 9-12, 2024 Manchester, NH, USA

One of our newsletter readers wrote to us: One of my biggest struggles is having discussions around the amazing stuff we can create but also talking about how heavy a load this is on the planet. When we present activities like this, I think we also have to be honest about the environmental load. Her concerns are valid. The media has been full of stories about AI using up...

Brett Moller needed tools that didn't exist. So he built them. Australian educator Brett Moller was about to take 35 students on a week-long field trip to Melbourne. He had some thoughts about tools that would make the trip go smoother and might even be a little fun! So Brett — a classroom teacher, not a software developer — designed and built a native iOS staff app, a real-time GPS boundary system, and a live scavenger hunt platform. Thirty-five Year 9 students used them. The tools ran...
