AI and the Edge to Cloud Continuum
Applied AI – AI embedded in the physical tools of technical work – will permeate every STEM and CTE career. For students to understand how applied AI works, they need to understand the Edge-to-Cloud continuum.
Webinar: Applied AI in Education
How should education prepare our students for a world beyond AI chatbots, where embedded AIimpacts every career field? Where real systems gather data, make decisions and improve over time?
Every STEM and Career & Technical Education program should be teaching applied AI, and we’ll show you how.
Hear how a K–12 district built a hands-on emerging technology model that gives students repeated exposure to applied AI through authentic projects, modern equipment, and open-lab learning, and scaled it to reach hundreds of students each week. Students are working across robotics and mechatronics, 3D design and fabrication, autonomous mobile robots, self-driving cars, drones, and programming. You’ll walk away with a clear, proven approach you can adapt to implement these same kinds of experiences in your own district.
Plus, you’ll also learn what a successful district-level approach looks like for AI instruction and learner development: how leaders build shared expectations, teacher capacity, and a coherent progression for students across grade levels and programs.

The Electrification of Everything and Its Impact on Technical Education
Electrification is no longer a trend tied to electric vehicles or renewable energy headlines. It is a systems-level transformation reshaping infrastructure, manufacturing, data centers, mobility, and industrial operations. As mechanical systems become electrically driven and electrically driven systems become digitally controlled, technical education must evolve to reflect this shift.
