Katie Martin has hit the stage, and opens her keynote talk by telling us her reason for teaching: empowering students to have a voice

Katie reminds the crowd that our system was based on a very industrial model, and that’s it’s time for a creative overhaul to make students thoughtful problem solvers. It’s the “symptom of system.”

The hesitance of companies and educators to adopt gamification is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Gamfication is an emergent approach to instruction that facilitates and encourages motiviation using game element and mechanics and companies are going all in on this method for today’s youths.

OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra is the first model to hit its 'Critical' cyber threshold

OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra is the first model to hit its 'Critical' cyber threshold

OpenAI has unveiled GPT-6 Astra and says it is the first model to reach the "Critical" cybersecurity tier of its Preparedness Framework, Campus Technology reported Sept. 10. The label is the vendor's own. Campus and district IT leaders now weigh it alongside Microsoft's legally enforceable AI data protections, open to all districts Nov. 1.

  • 01A frontier vendor is now publishing its own capability tier alongside a broadly deployed release, which gives procurement a sharper question to ask every AI supplier: which tier, and what mitigations come with it.
  • 02Microsoft's legally enforceable student and teacher data protections open to every U.S. district on Nov. 1, a concrete reference point for anyone negotiating AI contract terms with other vendors this fall.
  • 03OpenAI's Navier-Stokes claim and Anthropic's formal-proof work are, as reported, vendor claims; independent verification is the signal that would turn either into a result.

Morgan State won Maryland's first public AI degree in months by building it first

Morgan State won Maryland's first public AI degree in months by building it first

Morgan State University launched Maryland's first public AI bachelor's degree by converting an existing cloud computing program into a full AI curriculum, completing the regulatory approval in months rather than years. The program prioritizes foundational computer science alongside AI-specific coursework and hands-on reinforcement learning projects, positioning graduates to design and extend AI models rather than simply use them.

  • 01Morgan State built 18 AI courses and embedded 8 completed projects into the curriculum before formally proposing the degree, enabling regulatory approval in days once evidence of the running program was presented.
  • 02Every student learns classical programming and data structures first, then progresses through problem-based courses scaled by difficulty level, culminating in a capstone with no lectures where the instructor acts as support.
  • 03The program emphasizes reasoning grounded in reinforcement learning and the Markov decision process rather than statistical analysis alone, preparing students to extend AI models and control technology instead of being directed by it.

Michigan's $250M Detroit innovation center is built with Detroit, not for it

Michigan's $250M Detroit innovation center is built with Detroit, not for it

The University of Michigan Center for Innovation, a $250 million facility opening in downtown Detroit in 2027, is designing its workforce programs with community input rather than for the community. Led by director of community engagement Lutalo Sanifu, UMCI is piloting curricula across climate action, urban technology, advanced manufacturing and other fields through focus groups and workshops while the building is under construction.

  • 01UMCI is conducting focus groups and pilot courses before opening to shape curriculum with residents, moving the end-of-course survey to the front.
  • 02Workforce development begins at age 14 and continues into adulthood, stacking micro-credentials and badges into larger certifications tied to employer hiring needs.
  • 03UMCI operates as a startup inside a large institution, with multiple U of M colleges jointly building curriculum around smart cities and urban technology across youth, workforce and graduate learners.
