Clackamas ESD was delighted to partner with Multnomah ESD, Northwest Regional ESD and the University of Portland to sponsor the AI Empowered EDU conference May 14 — the first of what we hope will be many regional efforts to share best practices on the use of artificial intelligence in K-12 education. A sellout crowd of more than 300 educators attended this one-day event that featured prominent national speakers. While there was a heavy focus on AI in the classroom, participants attended many sessions with broad applications on the use of AI tools and how to ensure that AI increases equitable access in education. Listen to a recap of the event by the three sponsoring ESD superintendents.

Extra thanks to the team at the University of Portland for graciously donating the space for this event. We’re already in discussions about a follow-up conference in spring 2025 — stay tuned!
