Abstract: AI and Calculus education: Is the use of generative AI in our Calculus labs a help or a hindrance?
An AI research team at MIT seeks contributions of examples for the development of an interactive AI teaching tool designed to help students learn calculus through graphical illustrations. Many examples are needed to train the system, and examples should be tested. We'd like you to test one of our examples to start a discussion on the use of AI in the classroom/lab. In particular, we would like to hear about examples where graphs have been especially effective in your teaching; no need to restrict yourself to math.
Note: Participants are encouraged to bring their favorite "device" to actively engage in the activity.

Please register by Thursday, September 25th, so we can finalize the headcount for lunch.
