Pre-Conference Workshop FULL DAY Workshop
EdHack: A Participatory Design Sprint for Advancing Educator AI Literacy
This full-day workshop offers a hands-on design sprint where educators, technologists, and learning scientists collaborate to prototype AI-powered learning tools. Based on the Ed<>Hack model from MIT and Harvard, participants will explore functional AI literacy through live demos, team prototyping, and coaching by the SundAI Berlin community. Together, they’ll create tangible learning artifacts that reflect real educational challenges.
Agenda:
15 min: Welcome
45 min: Opening Talk: A Multidimensional Look at AI Literacy
15 min: Coffee Break
30 min: Live Tool Demos
15 min: Introducing the Grand Challenge
60 min: Lunch Break
120 min: Team-Based Prototyping / Collaborative work time with real-time coaching from SundAI Berlin
30 min: Showcase Prep
60 min: Grand Challenge Showcase / Presentation on the group AI design process
30 min: Closing Circle and Final reflection
Outcomes:
- Gain practical experience with generative AI tools and workflows
- Apply a multidimensional AI literacy framework (functional, critical, rhetorical)
- Prototype solutions with real-world relevance and present them for feedback
Audience:
Educators, learning designers, curriculum developers, edtech professionals, and education leaders from all sectors
Dan Be Kim
AI Fellow, Harvard Graduate School of Education
Dan Be Kim is a Learning Design Fellow and AI Fellow at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE). As a Learning Design Fellow at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Dan Be co-designed an AI literacy tutorial for all incoming students, a mandatory requirement before starting any coursework. The module introduces what responsible and effective AI use looks like in higher education, explores the nuance between school-wide and course-specific AI policies, and features diverse faculty perspectives to highlight how expectations vary across disciplines. In her role as an AI Fellow, she is helping to onboard ~700 incoming students by equipping them with the skills needed to leverage AI responsibly in their academic work and professional pursuits. Most recently, she co-designed and taught AI Tools for Learning Design, a hands-on course on functional AI literacy at the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences that welcomed students from Harvard, MIT, and educators from the Cambridge/Boston area. A startup enthusiast with a background in product management, she has built and launched several marketplaces, including a venture-backed PropTech startup in the Bay Area. As an educational technologist, she is an active member of both the UNESCO Global Science of Learning Alliance and the Global Science of Learning Education Network (GSoLEN) hosted at UC San Diego, where she advocates for the conscious design of educational technologies grounded in evidence-based Science of Learning principles.
