The AI Revolution Show at the summit offered a fascinating look into the world of AI-powered educational products designed to enhance teachers’ capabilities.

Could strategic partnerships leveraging AI be the key to enhancing access and student success?
A highlight of the event was a live happy hour interview featuring Paul Gollash from ETS and Dana Bryson from Study.com. They announced an exciting free AI-powered PRAXIS prep offering aimed at supporting aspiring teachers, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds.
