The conference was an eye opener in many ways. It was my first conference on AI and I was able to see how AI can be used as a thought partner with implementation of relevant frameworks. The presenters were very clear in conveying their ideas and it was also a great opportunity to network with like-minded individuals who care about the future of education.

AIFE is amazing! All the insights, practical ways of implementation, and takeaways are really useful for me as a Digital Art teacher. I am returning to my school with so many practical ways of incorporating AI in lessons, and I can’t wait to share it with my colleagues.

I entered (the conference) with confusion about when to apply AI in a specific subject area, but I left with a wealth of resources and strategies from inspiring educators during the conference.

It was exceptionally well done. Great presentations. So many different schools represented. Lots of interesting conversations.
