Frontier Learning Lab is looking for partner teachers, schools, districts, and co-ops across Montana. Want to host a hands-on AI session for your staff or access training from the Lab? Connect with our team at [email protected].

Why start with building? Because AI literacy grows when educators can tinker, test, and iterate on real tasks: no theory exam required!

Entrepreneurship pitch coach – lets students rehearse startup ideas and get targeted feedback.

Curriculum remixer – helps a teacher re-envision district units through different instructional styles.

A few stand-outs:

Library review fetcher – pulls community and professional reviews to speed up a school librarian’s student book-request queue.

Math-curriculum FAQ bot – fields common questions so colleagues spend less time hunting through binders with a new math curriculum.

In three fast-moving hours, a dozen Montana teachers explored ChatGPT, Gemini, NotebookLM, and SchoolAI, then began shaping those tools into classroom helpers.

Teachers were left with prototypes at every stage of completion, from rough scaffolds to nearly ready assistants.
