April 2024 AI Exploration Challenge
Chatterpix Kids can make anything talk -- pets, friends, doodles, and more. Simply take any photo, draw a line to make a mouth, and record your voice. Then share your Pix with friends and family and share a laugh or two!
Have you been interested in AI tools and applications, but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you are looking for safe and meaningful AI activities for your classroom, but don’t have the time to search for them?
If either of these questions apply to you, or you are simply AI-curious, then join us each month to participate in the SBCEO monthly AI Exploration Challenge!
Aligned to the ISTE Standards for Educators, CA K-12 Computer Science Standards, and AI4K12’s Five Big Ideas in Artificial Intelligence, each micro-learning task will help educators build confidence and experience with AI with an instructional lens.
SBCEO AI Exploration Challenges are designed to:
-
Take 15 minutes or less to complete
-
Meet CA state compliance laws around data privacy and security
-
Inspire the use of AI in a classroom setting
-
Build professional community throughout Santa Barbara County

Upcoming Virtual Workshops
As we build our capacity together, we will consider the foundations of Artificial Intelligence from an educational systems perspective, the impact it has on curriculum & instruction, ways in which AI can impact overall productivity for educators, and the importance of viewing all elements of AI through an ethical and culturally competent lens.
Spring, 2024
I learned that AI encompasses so much more than I thought. I learned that AI is not new. I realized that math has been dealing with AI tools and cheating for some time now. We need to get ahead of the students in this issue.
Joslyn, AI Leadership Summit Participant
Teachable Machine is an easy way to get students into the driver's seat as trainers and demystify how AI works...and show that it is not infallible.Kristen, Fall 2023 Workshop Participant
I really like the newly developed language going from Acceptable to Responsible. I think this will help plant the seed of stakeholders in understanding how AI is a tool/resource versus being a replacement for student quality work and/or teachers' pedagogy.Pedro, Fall 2023 Workshop Participant
