About this event
Part of the Baylor TIP Innovation Lab Series: Where Big Ideas Become Real Solutions What if you could tackle the kinds of problems that scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, and world leaders face every day? In Baylor TIP Innovation Lab, you'll work with other curious students to solve exciting real-world challenges. You'll investigate the problem, brainstorm creative ideas, build innovative solutions, and present your team's recommendations just like professional innovators. There are no worksheets or memorized answers. Every challenge is different, and every team creates its own unique solution. Schools of Tomorrow: AI and the Future of Education Hans Gruber has become one of the country's most influential technology entrepreneurs. His newest company has developed an artificial intelligence learning system called MentorAI. Hans believes every student should have an AI tutor available every hour of every day. At a national education conference he announces, "Within ten years, students using AI will outperform every traditional classroom. The question isn't whether schools should adopt AI. The question is how quickly?" Cedar Springs ISD, a large Texas school district, is considering becoming the first in the nation to replace many traditional instructional activities with MentorAI. Some educators are excited. Others worry students may become too dependent on technology. Parents disagree. Students disagree. Even the researchers disagree. Supporters believe AI could revolutionize learning, while critics worry about its impact on teachers, critical thinking, creativity, and student independence. The superintendent has invited Baylor TIP Innovation Lab to study the issue and provide recommendations before any final decision is made. Can your team design a plan that prepares students for the future while protecting what matters most about education?
