AI is everywhere right now, and if you’ve been feeling both curious and overwhelmed, you’re not alone! In this episode, I’m joined by Amanda Bickerstaff, a former high school biology teacher and co-founder of AI for Education, for a conversation about AI in the classroom. We explore why AI literacy is becoming a core skill for both teachers and students, how it’s reshaping traditional assignments like lab reports, and the surprising ways it can actually spark more creativity and inquiry. Amanda also shares practical strategies for science teachers, from lesson inspiration to formative assessments. If you’ve ever wondered how to make AI work for you, this episode will leave you feeling excited for what’s ahead!
