WeTeach_CS Summit 2026

This session introduces StopHackGo, a hands-on instructional framework that helps K–12 educators engage students in physical computing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity through real-world IoT challenges. Participants will explore project-based activities supported by ethical AI tools that encourage problem solving, creativity, and critical thinking. Designed to celebrate student brilliance, StopHackGo bridges theory and practice while promoting cybersecurity awareness and computational thinking. Attendees will leave with adaptable lesson ideas, implementation strategies, and resources ready for classroom and workshop use.

In this hands-on session, participants will explore machine learning and AI through core concepts from the AI4GA curriculum. Educators will train a real-image classifier using Google’s Teachable Machine by collecting image data, building and testing a model, and iterating to improve accuracy. The session highlights classification, training data, model accuracy, and bias while celebrating student brilliance through creativity, collaboration, and iterative problem solving, helping all learners see themselves as capable AI thinkers and informed digital citizens.

Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in practical, interactive activities, exploring coding and cybersecurity concepts from a student perspective. The Amazon Future Engineer Career Tours and Cyber.org curriculum, designed for grades K-5, emphasizes the integration of foundational computer science principles and cybersecurity education. These programs feature engaging Kahoot quizzes to promote an enjoyable and interactive learning experience while developing essential technology skills.
