McHenry County ROE Excellence in Education 2026
Thursday June 18, 2026 1:30pm - 2:20pm CDT
In this interactive session invites, we will explore how LEGO® Education Computer Science & AI can help Illinois students understand how automated systems make decisions—and why those decisions matter. Through hands-on modeling and guided discussions, participants will examine foundational concepts such as computational thinking, data inputs, and algorithmic behavior, while also addressing issues of bias, transparency, and responsible use of AI. Using real‑world contexts relevant to Illinois classrooms, educators will experience strategies for making abstract AI concepts concrete and age‑appropriate. The session emphasizes problem‑solving, collaboration, and ethical reasoning aligned with the Illinois Computer Science Standards and equips educators with practical and intuitive approaches for teaching AI as a tool students can question, refine, and improve.
