AI in the Classroom: Discover and Leverage URI EdTech Tools.
Thank you for all who supported and attended Tech Day 2025.
We dove into the growing AI toolbox at URI! Tech Day 2025 broke down the coolest AI tools and platforms currently available at URI.
Everyone explored what they do, how they work, and how you can use them.
Whether you’re automating tasks, expanding your course toolkit or just curious about what’s possible, we’ll explore practical use cases, hands-on strategies, and insider tips to help you understand the AI toolkit at URI.
Something for every skill level, from Just beginning to explore to AI active practitioners. If you are in a space where AI is not for your classroom, we plan to have a session for discussion on strategies.
