What this session is about
An open floor for educators who have moved past the demo stage and are running AI inside real classrooms and cohorts.
Three short talks, then structured table discussions on assessment integrity, lesson prep and the tools that quietly failed.
More than one evening

Monthly meetups
Same people, new problems — progress compounds.
