ACAMIS Technology Conference 2026

From Lab to Classroom: Running an AI Student Program Inside a School

A 60-minute hands-on workshop for teachers and tech coaches, built on a case study from the International School of Beijing.

How the hour runs

A case, the reasons it worked, and a live build

The case: what students built in five days
Over five days, ISB students built working websites and apps with AI and presented them to judges from Harvard, Stanford, Y Combinator, and AI labs.
Why it worked
The program starts from lasting skills like creativity and judgment, with AI strengthening the learning instead of replacing it.
Build a website, live, with the room
We start from a pre-built site and add the sections and features you call out, so you see what it takes to turn ideas into a working website.
Take it back to your school
You leave with a planning checklist and a guide to accessing AI tools on school networks.
