KEYNOTES

Come on down.

High energy, hands-on, and a little ridiculous in the best way. People build things, laugh, get competitive, and try something before they know whether they’ll be any good at it. Then we get to work: real classroom stories, the research behind them, and results from years of teaching, plus strategies attendees can use with their own students the very next day.

What a Miss Moe keynote feels like

Most AI and edtech sessions start with a slide deck. Mine usually start with a game-show wheel, a sparkly jacket, and a room full of educators racing to the front.

Attendees get called down to spin wheels, pick behind doors, and win prizes.

A game show, not a slide show.

Game boards built from real lessons that people take straight back to their classrooms.

Everybody plays.

Classroom stories, research, and a message people carry out the door: Yes YOU Can!

Then it gets real.

Signature sessions

  • My signature game-show keynote. People get called down to spin wheels and pick behind doors while we dig into what real engagement looks like in STEAM classrooms.

  • Everybody in the room plays. Then we turn that energy into game-based routines teachers can use with their own students the next day.

  • Real classroom stories, live. What innovation looks like when kids build, code, and teach each other, and what it takes to make room for it.

  • A hands-on session where teachers bring a real lesson and redesign it so more learners have a way in. Fast, playful, and built on the Yes Standard.

  • Practical, human-centered AI literacy from someone who teaches it in schools and brings an educator voice to California’s SB 1288 Statewide AI Workgroup.

  • A digital health conversation that starts with real kids, not abstract fears. What technology actually makes possible, what we model as adults, and when it’s time to close the Chromebooks.
