Explore how SchoolAI can transform classroom learning through an interactive Social Studies lesson on the benefits and challenges of living near a volcano. In this session, participants will experience a virtual field trip to communities surrounding Mount Mayon, interacting with AI-powered “tour guides” that deliver personalised, differentiated insights based on learner needs and curiosity. The demonstration highlights how SchoolAI supports inquiry-based learning, deepens content understanding, and enhances student engagement through dynamic, conversational exploration.
Participants will also engage in hands-on activities to engineer effective prompts and design their own SchoolAI bots tailored to specific learning goals. By experimenting directly with the platform, participants will discover practical strategies for integrating AI-driven experiences into their lessons. This session aims to spark innovative ideas for deploying SchoolAI across subject areas, empowering educators to create interactive, student-centred lessons that elevate both teaching and learning.
