Phishing, Spoofing, Sniffing, Brute-Force - Is it possible to teach children about hackers and cybersecurity?
Tuesday June 16, 2026 11:15am - 12:15pm CDT
While at home or at school, we take the utmost care to ensure the safety and physical well-being of our children. However, when they are immersed in the digital world, who watches over them? The virtual world, as real as the physical one, also presents risks and threats that students should be instructed on how to protect themselves. In an immersive activity, experience being a browser or hacker on the internet, applying or defending against some of the most common attack techniques in the online world. Being safe in both the physical and digital worlds is not optional; it's essential.

Celebrating Brilliance: Making AI Visible, Ethical, and Teachable
Tuesday June 16, 2026 1:30pm - 2:30pm CDT
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are already shaping how students learn across content areas. This hands-on session focuses on best practices for integrating AI/ML concepts into computer science and other classrooms, emphasizing computational thinking, ethical use, and student understanding over the use of tools alone. Participants will explore how machine learning systems are trained, identify sources of bias, and experience classroom-ready strategies that connect CS concepts to real-world applications in core subjects. Attendees will leave with practical frameworks, activities, and resources to confidently integrate AI across disciplines.
