AI in Education

The Rocky Mountain AI Interest Group (RMAIIG) will host an in-person meeting in Boulder on Monday, February 16th, at 6:00 pm MT on “AI in Education.”

AI is rapidly reshaping education, and this meeting will explore how educators, startups, and institutions are integrating AI in thoughtful, responsible, and practical ways. We’ll examine how AI tools can support teachers, enhance student learning, and reduce administrative burden, all without losing the human core of education. Speakers will share real-world examples from K-12 and higher education, focusing on trust, safety, data privacy, and effective classroom use. Attendees will walk away with important insights on deploying AI responsibly in educational settings and helping students and teachers build AI literacy for the future.

Our first speaker, Matthew Boeckman, serves as the Vice President of Engineering at MagicSchool AI (ranked the #1 startup in Denver by LinkedIn!). Much more than just a basic chatbot, MagicSchool AI helps teachers plan lessons, create quizzes and assignments, helps students develop AI literacy, and ultimately reduces administrative overhead. The talk “Trust, Safety, and Quality: How MagicSchool Ensures Quality Educational Interactions Between Teachers, Students, and AI” will explore how this new technology helps improve efficiency while preserving the interpersonal side of learning.

Next up is France Hoang, the co-founder of BoodleBox, a collaborative GenAI platform for higher education that enables professors and students to work together responsibly on tasks such as class preparation, academic assessment, and building custom bots. BoodleBox has gained traction at hundreds of colleges and universities by highlighting data privacy and token efficiency, helping institutions integrate AI responsibly.

Finally, Will Lindsay and Ian Her Many Horses from CU Boulder’s College of Education will share how they’re using AI to train K-12 teachers on how to use AI in their classrooms.

Special thank you to Bobby Hodgkinson for arranging the meeting space!
