Past Events
Thursday · 5:00 - 7:00 PM · Gutman Library, HGSE
24 participants built projects in 2 hours. Three teams continued their projects after the event.
Recap
Incredible energy. Highlights: a team built an AI discussion facilitator for seminars, another prototyped culturally responsive math word problems, and a faculty member who had never coded built a working office hours chatbot. Three projects are now in the Student Showcase.

The culturally responsive math tool was amazing. Is that team continuing?
First hack I have attended. The vibe was incredibly welcoming.

Thursday · 12:00 - 12:45 PM · Longfellow 328, HGSE
Hands-on session building Bloom's-aligned question generators with AI prompts.
Recap
Key insight: the best assessment prompts are not about getting AI to grade work. They are about using AI to generate better questions. Three faculty left with working prompt templates.

Can you share the prompt templates? I missed this one.
Just posted them in the Library. Search for LEAP Assessment Templates.
Thursday · 5:30 - 7:00 PM · Askwith Hall, HGSE
Panel discussion with leading researchers on how AI is reshaping learning across the lifespan.
Recap
Standing room only. The most interesting exchange was between panelists on whether AI tutoring can ever replicate the relational dimension of good teaching. Recording available.

The recording is worth watching. The Q&A at the end was the best part.
